A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for this Sunday
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Wisdom 9:13-18; Phil 9-10, 12-17; Luke 14:25-33)
Consent to love God above all else; seek to not force anything
Today, Jesus sets out the cost of discipleship: “none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions”. Throughout His life and in dying for us, Jesus demonstrated a self-emptying way of loving. As His disciples, our call is to follow Him by putting each other first; thereby dying to selfishness and setting ourselves free.
