"Lord, what about him?" We’ve all asked that question. In today’s "Word of Hope" for Saturday, May 23rd (Saturday of the 7th Week of Easter), Father Jordan DeGuire explores the dangerous "comparison game" we often play in our spiritual and daily lives.
Reflecting on the Gospel exchange between Jesus, Peter, and John the Beloved, Fr. Jordan discusses:
* **The Comparison Trap:** Why looking at others leads us to either despair or complacency.
* **Your Unique Mission:** Understanding that God has a definite task for you that no one else can fulfill.
* **Eyes of Jesus:** How to transition from looking at others with worldly comparison to seeing them with eyes enlightened by the Holy Spirit.
Stop worrying about everyone else’s path and hear the invitation Jesus has for you today: "You, follow me."
