3. Let us imitate the saints of all times that found their joy in
promptly following the call of God.
We do not even know the name of this youth. On the other hand, he
could have given his name to cities like the apostle St James: Santiago of
Compostela, Santiago of Cuba, Santiago of Chile, Santiago of Estero, …of
Philippines, of Panama, of Paraguay, of Peru.
Let us encourage those who could have “subiectum” to follow
evangelical perfection not foolishly opposing them. Jesus promised, “Amen I
say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or
mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the
Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age…with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to
come (Mk 10:29-30). Heaven and earth will pass
away but my words will not pass away (Mt. 24:35).
