Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 14:25-33

Friends, in our Gospel today the Lord offers one of the greatest, most “slap you in the face” challenges he ever offered. “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother . . . and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”

There is the great spiritual principle that undergirds the entire Gospel: detachment. The heart of the spiritual life is to love God and then to love everything else for the sake of God. But we sinners, as St. Augustine said, fall into the trap of loving the creature and forgetting the Creator. That’s when we get off the rails.

We treat something less than God as God—and trouble ensues. And this is why Jesus tells his fair-weather fans that they have a very stark choice to make. Jesus must be loved first and last—and everything else in their lives has to find its meaning in relation to him.

In typical Semitic fashion, he makes this point through a stark exaggeration: “Unless you hate your mother and father, wife and children, sisters and brothers . . .” Well yes, hate them in the measure that they have become gods to you. For precisely in that measure are they dangerous.

Reading 1 Rom 13:8-10

Brothers and sisters:
Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another;
for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
The commandments, You shall not commit adultery;
you shall not kill;
you shall not steal;
you shall not covet,
and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this saying, namely,
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Love does no evil to the neighbor;
hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.

Gospel Lk 14:25-33

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,
everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple."

Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 14:15-24

Friends, today’s Gospel likens the kingdom of heaven to a man giving a great dinner. In the parallel passage of this parable from the Gospel of Matthew, that man is presented as a king and the great dinner as a wedding feast. Notice that the father (God the Father) is giving a banquet for his son (God the Son), whose bride is the Church. Jesus is the marriage of divinity and humanity—and we his followers are invited to join in the joy of this union.

The joyful intimacy of the Father and the Son is now offered to us to be shared. Listen to Isaiah to learn the details of this banquet: "On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines."

Now, there is an edge to all of this. For it is the king who is doing the inviting, and it is a wedding banquet for his son. We can see how terribly important it is to respond to the invitation of the King of kings.

We have heard the invitation of God to enter into intimacy with him, to make him the center of our lives, to be married to him in Christ—and often we find the most pathetic excuses not to respond.

Reading 1 Rom 12:5-16ab

Brothers and sisters:
We, though many, are one Body in Christ
and individually parts of one another.
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,
let us exercise them:
if prophecy, in proportion to the faith;
if ministry, in ministering;
if one is a teacher, in teaching;
if one exhorts, in exhortation;
if one contributes, in generosity;
if one is over others, with diligence;
if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be sincere;
hate what is evil,
hold on to what is good;
love one another with mutual affection;
anticipate one another in showing honor.
Do not grow slack in zeal,
be fervent in spirit,
serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope,
endure in affliction,
persevere in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the holy ones,
exercise hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you,
bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice,
weep with those who weep.
Have the same regard for one another;
do not be haughty but associate with the lowly.

Gospel Lk 14:15-24

One of those at table with Jesus said to him,
"Blessed is the one who will dine in the Kingdom of God."
He replied to him,
"A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many.
When the time for the dinner came,
he dispatched his servant to say to those invited,
'Come, everything is now ready.'
But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves.
The first said to him,
'I have purchased a field and must go to examine it;
I ask you, consider me excused.'
And another said, 'I have purchased five yoke of oxen
and am on my way to evaluate them;
I ask you, consider me excused.'
And another said, 'I have just married a woman,
and therefore I cannot come.'
The servant went and reported this to his master.
Then the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant,
'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town
and bring in here the poor and the crippled,
the blind and the lame.'
The servant reported, 'Sir, your orders have been carried out
and still there is room.'
The master then ordered the servant,
'Go out to the highways and hedgerows
and make people come in that my home may be filled.
For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'"

A little ray of light for Gbianami

Dear Michelel T,

Meet Gbianami from South Sudan. We believe he could change the world someday, but he almost didn’t get the chance.

Gbianami’s mother, Mary, rushed into St. Therese Hospital in labor. She was ready to deliver her baby boy. Volunteer nurse and midwife, Sarah Rubino, was there to help her. After several long hours, Sarah delivered Gbianami. Mary slumped back exhausted, but Sarah noticed something was very wrong - Gbianami wasn't breathing.

Mary slumped back exhausted, but Sarah noticed something very wrong: Gbianami wasn't breathing.

Sarah flew into action. She started breathing for the baby. Over and over she thumped on his chest and blew air into his lungs. Despite her valiant efforts, Gbianami’s heartbeat was slowing down.

As Sarah fought to keep the baby’s heart beating, she looked up at Mary, who lay still with a far-off look in her eyes. Those who don’t know what was going on might think she was detached and distant. But the cruel reality here is that newborns die every single day. Mary had the look of a mother preparing to lose her baby.

But the cruel reality here is that newborns die every single day. Mary had the look of a mother preparing to lose her baby.

Suddenly, a little ray of light brightened the room. Gbianami jerked slightly, gave a weak cough, and then started to howl. It was music to their ears! He was going to be okay. Mary named her son Gbianami, which means “God is with me.”

For nine years, we have maintained our four-star rating by sending volunteers and medical supplies to help women and children, like Mary and Gbianami. We could not do this without you.

This giving season, we're focusing on newborn care to save babies born into poverty. Your gift will have a big impact on these newborns' lives. Give today and your gift will be MATCHED!

DONATE NOW

Thank you for your support,

President and CEO
CMMB/Healthier Lives Worldwide

PS: Through #GivingTuesday, gifts will be MATCHED! We're striving to save even more babies like Gbianami. He could change the world. Let's give him the chance.
