Fan or Follower

At a recent mass, Father's homily got me thinking...

He asked us if we were a Fan or Follower of Christ. A Fan would be one who chases after Jesus, collecting anything relating to Him. On the other hand, a Follower is one who not only chases after Jesus, but has a relationship with Him.

Thinking about the difference, I wonder if I am having a relationship with Jesus... Am I able to grow in my friendship with Jesus, and attune my thoughts to His promptings and lead? I believe that I am on my way, but in the hectic and busy life that consumes me, I have to constantly find the space to listen to Him. I pray that we may all continue to give some space to allow our relationship with Christ to grow.
