28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The first quality of Christian poverty deducted from Jesus and St. Paul is that poverty must be free. Jesus chose freely to go hungry or to eat and drink to the point of being considered a glutton and a drunkard (cf. Mt. 11:19 and Lk. 7:34) He was free to sleep under trees or comfortably in homes of wealthy friends. He was free regarding family, relatives and friends. He was free regarding his own power, knowledge and fame.

Lacking in One Thing

Our first reaction must be: “I do not want my face to fall like the face of the rich, young man. I do not want to walk away from Jesus. I do not want to be sad (cf. Mark 10:21-22).

Our Spiritual Growth

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him on the last day. (John 6:44) Concerning salvation, we must never forget God’s absolute sovereignty. It is complete and foolish arrogance to attempt to circumvent it or to alter it. Our God is in heaven; whatever God wills is done. (Psalm 115:3) Clearly then, the first danger that we who are chosen must avoid is the presumption of trying to limit God’s…

True Loves and Real Friends

On this 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the lesson that Jesus wishes to teach us is a life lesson, in the sense that it forces us to see where, instinctively, we place ourselves in the context of our relationship with God and our interaction with people. Assuming that our relationship with God is correct, at least as far as it appears to us before a deeper, more direct reflection, it is already embarrassing and humbling to have come up with the…
