Apprentices in Faith –
We are apprentices and Jesus is the Master.  The process of Christian initiation is like an apprenticeship. Those who wish to become disciples of Jesus Christ and members of the Church participate in a kind of apprenticeship. It’s an apprenticeship in a couple of ways. First, those learning to be disciples of Jesus are apprenticed to the Master, Jesus Christ. They learn to follow Jesus Christ with the help of the Christian community.
That brings us to the second point. The new apprentices also learn from other disciples. Those who wish to become disciples of Jesus learn the Catholic Christian way by “apprenticing” with other Catholic Christians. They learn to be disciples by worshipping, learning, praying and serving others in the midst of our community. But, that’s tough right now since we can’t gather as a community due to the coronavirus.

We are all apprentices doing our best to follow and learn from the Master, Jesus Christ. May we help one another along the way, especially in the dark days when the journey is difficult, and the pathway is rough. Jesus guide our way!
