Jesus, when people
heard all that you
were doing, they came
to you,
much as starving
people had come to
see Joseph in Egypt
for grain.
But some who followed
you remained
hungry, thirsty,
poorly clothed,
beaten, tired,
homeless. Nevertheless,
they wanted to be your disciples.
I too have heard of
your fame, Jesus,
of your awesome deeds
and of
your abundant
goodness; how much
do I want to be your
disciple?
