"Listen to him." Depending on who you ask, Jesus gave about 50 commands for his disciples to follow, including how to behave, how to pray, how to treat others, and what not to do. He spoke in parables to the crowds and directly to individuals. He spoke words of mercy and words of warning; he spoke words of love and words of compassion. Jesus still talks to us today. He speaks through Scriptures; he speaks through our prayers; he speaks through his Church. But are we willing to listen to him?
