In today's Gospel reading Jesus tells us about three requirements we have to fulfill in order to become His disciples.

The first of these requirements is readiness to renounce everything for Christ. A father, a mother, a spouse, children, siblings and our life are wonderful gifts from God. We cannot despise them or treat them with contempt. However, we must be ready to sacrifice them if they would separate us from Jesus.

The second condition of our discipleship to Jesus is willingness to achieve great goals. A Christian must be passionate about his life. He should have dreams. He should live his life to the fullest. He must be generous and energetic. We have been given many talents to accomplish our life and win a good fight.

Finally, a good disciple of Jesus is not only ready for sacrifice and creative to accomplish great goals but he also must be prudent. It is prudence that helps us to set our plans and tells us how to use talents and gifts that we have received from God. We must be prudent in order to make right choices when we face challenges. Prudence is necessary when we want to win our battle against evil.
