Jesus, Number One! | The Word of the Lord with Fr. Rector | 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Father Rector reflects on the Gospel [Luke 14.25-33] this Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. He mentioned: “In the Gospel episode today, Jesus gives us the cost of discipleship. There are three aspects that he highlighted: (1) The highest, strongest, and deepest relationship that followers of Jesus should have is with him and no other. In other words, followers of Jesus should have undivided attention; their hearts, minds and their whole being must first be for the Lord: Jesus, number One! Everything else or everyone else is secondary or should flow from that relationship with him… (2) Cross is one of the unique identifiers of those who follow Jesus. One cannot claim himself to be Jesus’ follower if he or she does not know the meaning of the Cross and did not embrace the Cross in his or her life… (3) The followers of Jesus should have not any attachment to material things or possessions. Why? Because only when one can relinquish all their possessions that they can allow themselves to be possessed by Christ... Watch and listen!
