| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | Job 9:1-12, 14-16 Psalm 88:10-15 Luke 9:57-62 |
Luke 9:61 Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
How many of us say basically the same thing. Yes Jesus, I will follow you after I graduate, or after the kids are grown, or after I retire, etc... Today is the day of salvation. We must answer the call when it comes and not put others before Christ. The commandment says we shall have no other gods before God. Yet, we say let me first ...
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always put you first and answer your call when it comes. Help me to see when I am putting others ahead of you and when I am a victim of my own flesh and lack of faith.
Amen
