text: A perfect message for confirmation students and for us all. Seeking Jesus by reading the Gospels fervently is the most important step in the process of becoming one of his avid followers. The sooner, the better. When our 8 children were small we purchased a series of books based on the Old and New Testament peddled by the Seventh Day Adventist group and got into the habit of reading a chapter each evening after dinner. As adults, they still talk about how beneficial and enjoyable those sessions were. As a more mature Catholic in my fifties, I took personal time finally to study the gospels in depth, journalizing and praying as I did so.... falling head over heels in love with that radical, activist Jew named Jesus. PTL!  Thank you, Bishop Gumbleton...always enjoy your homilies.
