Reflections on Sunday’s Mass: September 5, 2010
This Sunday is the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. What is the price of what really matters? Jesus likens discipleship to the construction of a great tower without resources, or marching into a battle against impossible odds. He tells us that the price of following him will be a complete re-shaping of everything in our lives. In asking such an inconceivable price of us, perhaps Jesus had the words of the Book of Wisdom in mind: “Who can know God’s counsel, who can conceive what God intends? Our mortal plans are timid and unsure, weighed down by our earthly state of being…yet wisdom is available to us.” Dare we embrace the vision of Jesus, at the price of everything else?
