There is an old oriental saying that goes like this: Consider the worm; his day is two feet long. Meaning, I suppose, just as a worm can do only so much, travel so far, given his physical limitations, so too human beings should learn to submit to their apparent limitations. But Jesus’ Passion Story asks us to change all that. We say, “I can’t do the impossible!” Jesus says, “Follow Me, however impossible it seems.” We say, “but I can’t go too far!” Jesus says, “If anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him” (Mt. 5:41).
