Today’s Readings
First Reading (Wisdom 9:13-18b)
Who can know God's counsel, or who can conceive what the Lord intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns. And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out? Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high? And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight.
Psalm (Psalm 90:3-4,5-6,12-13,14,17)
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You turn man back to dust, saying, “Return, O children of men.” For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday, now that it is past, or as a watch of the night.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You make an end of them in their sleep; the next morning they are like the changing grass, which at dawn springs up anew, but by evening wilts and fades.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants!
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. And may the gracious care of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands!
Second Reading (Philemon 9-10, 12-17)
I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment; I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I should have liked to retain him for myself, so that he might serve me on your behalf in my imprisonment for the gospel;, but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary. Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord. So if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me.
Gospel (Luke 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, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my
disciple.”
Gospel Reflection

Jesus was amazed to see a great crowd traveling with him, and he was seized by doubt that there was a misunderstanding of his words. So, he turned and began to explain what was involved in the choice to be his disciples.
Jesus makes three very hard conditions to be his disciples. These conditions that Jesus places are very clear and are not negotiable.
The first one is “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”. Jesus always uses strong images as requirements of the Christian vocation. He does not want anyone to be led away by illusions. “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head… Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” (Lk 9:57-62). But Jesus never asked to hate one’s own family and even one’s own life because his followers are those who love everyone, even the enemies.
When Jesus speaks of hate, he refers to the clean cuts one needs to do when it comes to be faithful to the Gospel. To hate is to have the courage to break even the most loved bonds when they become impediments to following Jesus. Jesus wants a total detachment from relationships, possessions and positions.
The second condition: “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple”.
This is often understood as a call to patiently bear adversities in one’s life and readiness to make sacrifices in one’s life. Jesus asks our willingness to testify our own faith, even with one’s life means martyrdom. These are the crosses that the disciple has to expect.
Before introducing the third condition, Jesus tells two short parables. The first is about a man who, wanting to protect the harvest from thieves and animals, decided to build a tower in his field to put a guard. The second parable tells of a king who wants to start a war but evaluates the merit of his army. It seems that these two parables are invitations to renounce the Christian vocation. In fact, the goal is to remind of the importance and commitment that this choice requires.
The third condition: “anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” It is not about giving alms but giving up everything; a total detachment.
