THE COST OF TRUE DISCIPLESHIP
The liturgy of the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time invites us to reflect on the serious and demanding call of following Christ. Jesus speaks clearly that discipleship is not a matter of comfort or convenience, but of wholehearted commitment, even to the point of renouncing attachments and carrying the cross daily. The Word of God reminds us that human wisdom is not enough to grasp the mysteries of God; it is His Spirit that enlightens us and leads us to walk in His ways.
As we gather around the Eucharist, we are called to examine the depth of our faith and the quality of our discipleship. The Lord challenges us to live as His true followers — not half-hearted, not lukewarm, but faithful and courageous in every circumstance. May the celebration of this Sunday strengthen us to walk with Christ with trust, perseverance, and joy, and inspire us to make Him the center of our lives.
