23rd Ordinary Time

Wis 9:13-18b

Phmn 9-10, 12-17


Lk 14:25-33


I am always impressed about the story of St Anthony the Abbot. He heard a passage of the Gospel being read in the Church-  and I am pretty sure its the one appointed for this Sunday- about giving away all possessions and following the Lord. He was so moved by it that's what he did. 

The Gospel is a radical call, and a radical response is needed. Every age has its St Anthony's who point the other way; the way of Christ. If only there were a few more. 


I am leading a pilgrimage to the Shrines of France this week, so reflections may be scant. I hope that you might be able to give a few ideas of your own on the Gospel. I often desperately need them!!
