Dear Fellow Disciples, peace!

We as the Church of Jesus Christ in the United States are about to enter a special time of grace. It is the Eucharistic Revival. A time to deepen our understanding and reverence towards the REAL PRESENCE of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. It seems, in certain areas, that Catholics have grown cold or indifferent towards this reality. In other areas it is the exigencies of political correctness which forces on our throat a diluted religion to accommodate everyone. The risk with this is that slowly but surely we are departing from the Truth about our faith and Church.

Dear fellow disciples, peace.

Today’s Gospel parable in a way teaches the disciples to be dishonest. Jesus uses the fact of character or behavior deviation to show how it is necessary to be clever with matters of the Kingdom.

To crossing of arms or letting the ship run with the flow is the naive attitude of those who do not care about salvation. The disciple works his salvation [every day] with fear and trembling (cf. Phil 2:12).

In chapter 15 of Luke's Gospel, Jesus tells three parables about losing, finding, and rejoicing. The outcasts of society, the taxpayers, and the sinners approach Jesus eager to hear what he has to say. In Luke's Gospel, hearing is a sign of conversion. The Pharisees and scribes, still suspicious of Jesus, complain about him associating with sinners. So he tells them these three parables.

A decision to embrace discipleship for the Kingdom of God must be well thought through. We don’t decide to become disciples of Jesus under pressure. It is naive of us to decide without considering the consequences and implications. If we do so, disappointment will come for sure!
