Disciples are those who follow Jesus, not only by living his Doctrine, but also on the paths of evangelization.

In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"

  • Why the diversity of Disciples.[1]
  • The disciple: parallel between John and Judas.[2]
  • One of the secrets of the perfect faithful is never to set oneself up as an interrogator of God "Why do you do this?"[3]
  • He must increase and I must decrease: God alone has the right to have faithful.[4]
  • The status of Women-Disciples.[5]
  • Disciple means one who follows the discipline of the Master and that of his Doctrine.[6]
  • The role of apostle and that of disciple.[7]
  • This episode, which inaugurates the Sermon on the Mount, deals generally with spirituality for the apostolate of the Apostles and Disciples.[8]
  • The different development of Disciples: application of the parable of the good grain and the weeds.[9]
  • No student is greater than his teacher.[10]
  • Jesus sends the seventy-two Disciples to announce him - Sending from Magdala, late August 2nd year (Mt 18,18-35 – 9,37-38 - Lk 10,1-2).[11]
  • Women Disciples: "Get used to detachment, to heroism, to the apostolate of charitable brotherhood from now on..."[12]
  • They are not Disciples - But if you exclude and exclude, who remains? - Those who have the Mission of Disciples. - And then, what are they? - friends. No more than friends. Do they, by chance, leave their homes, their businesses to Following Jesus? (Simon the Zealot (Apostle) dialoguing with Judas).[13]
  • If I were a disciple, I would be following him as the others do. I am one of his friends."[14]
  • Ascension: It is enough for me that you (the Apostles) pray diligently, in union with the seventy-two and under the guidance of my Mother, whom I recommend to you with the eagerness of a Son.[15]

In fundamental Christian texts

In the Catholic Church Catechism

  • Very early on, the term catechesis was used for all the efforts undertaken in the Church to make Disciples.[16]
  • Jesus announces the sending of the Holy Spirit. He will now be with the Disciples and in them.[17]
  • The Christ is at the heart of this gathering of men in the "Family of God". He calls them around him by his word, by his signs, by the sending of his Disciples.[18]
  • The Cross is the only sacrifice of Christ. He calls his Disciples to "take up their cross and follow him".[19]
  • The Church is, by its very nature, a Missionary sent by Christ to all nations to make them Disciples.[20]
  • The Lord himself affirms that Baptism is necessary for salvation. He therefore commanded his Disciples to proclaim the Gospel and to baptize all nations.[21]
  • Christ invites his Disciples to follow him by taking up their cross in turn. By following him, He makes them participants in his ministry of compassion and healing.[22]
  • Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist are the Sacraments of Christian initiation. They establish the common vocation of all the Disciples of Christ, a vocation to holiness and to the Mission of evangelizing the world.[23]
  • The Disciples of Christ Jesus are invited to live under the gaze of the Father to become "perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect".[24]
  • The beatitudes announce the Blessings and Blessed Objects and rewards already obscurely acquired by the Disciples.[25]
  • The disciple of Christ must not only keep the faith and live by it, but also profess it, bear witness with assurance and spread it.[26]
  • At Baptism, the Christian receives his name in the Church. It may be that of a saint, that is, a disciple who has lived a life of exemplary faithfulness to his Lord. The patronage of the saint offers a model of charity and assures his intercession.[27]
  • To become a disciple of Jesus is to accept the call to the Family of God, to live in conformity with his way of life.[28]
  • Man shows himself a disciple of Christ by carrying the Cross, every day, in the human work he is called to accomplish.[29] The disciple of Christ agrees to "live in truth"[30] and to reject offenses to the truth.[31]
  • Poverty of Heart: Jesus enjoins his Disciples to prefer him to all and everyone and offers them to give "dismissal to all their goods"[32]
  • Jesus calls his Disciples to be concerned with cooperating with the Divine Plan in prayer.[33]
  • The Our Father participates in the unity of all the Disciples of Christ.[34]
  • Christian prayer goes as far as the forgiveness of Enemies. It transforms the disciple by configuring him to his Master.[35]
