A reading from the Gospel of Luke: 14: 25, 23
 

 

Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and he turned and addressed them,
"If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.
Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion?
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.'
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
In the same way,
anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple."

Scripture Reflection

 

 

 

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14. 27)

No one ever said discipleship would be easy. In fact, in today's Gospel, Jesus assures us that

the cost of discipleship will be very high. Beware simplistic either/or thinking: I can either be

a wretched suffering disciple or a happy-go-lucky heathen or casual Christian. You don't

have to choose between discipleship and happiness. As a disciple you will sacrifice, suffer, be

challenged, carry the cross AND be free, happy, joyful, alive.
