GOSPEL: LUKE 15: 1-32
YES I SHALL ARISE, AND RETURN TO MY FATHER
Dear friends,
Today’s gospel presents a shepherd rejoicing over finding a lost sheep, a housewife rejoicing over finding a lost coin, and a father rejoicing over the return of his lost son. The three parables are in answer to the Pharisees and Scribes complaints about Jesus, saying that he can’t be the Messiah because he welcomes sinners and eats with them. He is friends with them. He loves them. He is full of joy that they have come home to God.

GOSPEL: LUKE 14:25-33
True Discipleship
Dear friends,
Today’s gospel reading begins with this line: “Great crowds accompanied him on his way and he turned and spoke to them” (Luke 14:25). Jesus becomes suspicious of this mob. He is not too sure if they understand what is going to happen in Jerusalem. He turns around and makes some facts clear to them. Jesus puts forward three conditions: prioritize – ensure the primacy of Jesus in your life; be ready to die to yourself – carry your own cross; and make yourself vulnerable – renounce your possessions. And because this is going to be challenging you better sit and discern before you continue the journey of discipleship.
