Who is the intentional disciple?
The intentional disciple has made a deliberate choice to follow Jesus. It is about as far from passivity, indifference, cultural Catholicism or vague and formless pop “spirituality” as you can get!
The response of discipleship
The intentional disciple actively cultivates the habit of subordinating all his/her needs, wants, desires, plans and earthly loves to the God who is love—incarnate, crucified and risen in the person of Jesus Christ.
Like Thomas, confronted with the risen Christ, the intentional disciple’s response is “My Lord and my God!” (Jn 20:28). Like the disciples on the Emmaus road, the intentional disciple’s heart burns within him/her (cf. Lk 24:32).
