Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 26, 2016
“No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind
is fit for the kingdom of God.”
— Luke 9:62
Here are some of Father Tom’s scattered thoughts for this week . . .
1. Take time out to pray during this week — to hear God’s call to be a true follower of
Christ.
2. Daily responsibilities can be distractions from being a true disciple of Christ.
3. What distracts me from living my faith?
4. What does my Christian faith cost me?
5. What is getting in the way of being a true follower?
6. Jesus doesn’t call the ready, he calls the willing.
7. Jesus doesn’t call the “qualified," he qualifies the one He calls.
8. Today Jesus calls you — what prevents you from following Him?
9. If you want to follow Jesus, follow without reservation, total commitment – sacrifice.
Remember, you are in my prayers. Pray for one another.

FOCUS ON THE MISSION
“There are so many things to do.” “We have so little
time.” How many variations of these statements have you
heard or even said yourself?
Actually neither statement is completely true. There
are many things to do in this life, but really few things that
are vitally important. Working, searching, conniving, and
worrying our way to “gratify[ing] the desires of the flesh,”
as Paul relates in today’s second reading, are really nonproductive. So little time? When we take on the freedom
that Christ offers us, we have all the time we need in this
world, and even more in the next.
Elisha, the prophet Elijah’s chosen servant, was
slightly befuddled about what he should do. When Elijah
called, he returned to bid farewell to his parents and
provide food for his people. Only then did he follow.
Jesus demands something different, something
more of his disciples. He calls us to a single-minded
determination to drop everything and follow him. Now,
not later.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
June 26, 2016
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Yet again in Ordinary Time, Jesus seems to
demand extraordinary commitment. A would-be
disciple enthusiastically volunteers to follow Jesus
“wherever” (Luke 9:57). Jesus replies that “wherever”
means “nowhere to rest his head” (9:58). To other
candidates, Jesus brusquely denies reasonable requests
to fulfill family obligations (9:59, 61), declaring that
discipleship demands total commitment—now! But
Jesus also demands that we not judge how others
respond. When James and John volunteered to
“call down fire from heaven” (9:54) to destroy an
unwelcoming town, Jesus “turned and rebuked
them” (9:55). All violence of any kind is
completely unacceptable among Jesus’ disciples,
a lesson this Jubilee Y ear of Mercy is teaching the
Christian community once again. Paul’s challenge to
the Galatians and us reinforces Jesus’ decisive
command to James and John that they express their
commitment to him through compassion for others. We
must abandon the violence of “biting and devouring one
another” (Galatians 5:15), choosing instead to “serve
one another through love” (5:13).

CONCÉNTRATE EN LA MISIÓN
“Hay tantas cosas que hacer”. “Tenemos tan poco tiempo”. ¿Cuántas
variantes de estas afirmaciones has oído o incluso dicho tú mismo?
En realidad, ninguna de las dos es completamente verdadera. Hay muchas
cosas que hacer en esta vida, pero realmente pocas cosas que son de vital
importancia. Esforzarse, buscar, actuar en convivencia y preocuparse en pos
del “desorden egoísta del hombre”, como nos dice san Pablo en la segunda
lectura de hoy, no es en absoluto productivo. ¿Tan poco tiempo? Cuando
tomamos
la libertad que Cristo nos ofrece, tenemos todo el tiempo que
necesitamos en este mundo y aún más en el que sigue.
Eliseo, el sirviente elegido del profeta Elías, estaba un tanto aturdido sin saber qué debía hacer.
Cuando Elías lo llamó, regresó a despedirse de sus padres y a darle comida a su gente. Sólo después
lo siguió.
Jesús nos pide algo diferente, algo digno de sus discípulos. Nos pide una determinación absoluta
