We like to celebrate the fact that we are free to “live the good life.” But Jesus calls us to a different kind of freedom. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus sets us free so that we can serve one another, share our gifts and promote God’s work here on earth to glorify His name and not honor ourselves. Nos gusta celebrar el hecho de que somos libres de "vivir la buena vida". Pero Jesús nos llama a un tipo diferente de libertad. San Pablo nos recuerda que Jesús nos libera para que podamos servirnos unos a otros, compartir nuestros dones y promover la obra de Dios aquí en la tierra para glorificar su nombre y no para honrarnos a nosotros mismos.

RADICAL TRANSFORMATION On this Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, the readings describe anything but an ordinary time. They are disturbing and they leave us disturbed. The Old Testament reading recounts a young man’s radical break with the past to follow a new path. The Gospel describes how life as we know it is abruptly changed if we follow the call of Christ. The psalm and Paul assure us that such life-altering change is possible only because of the power of God’s love. We are presented with a stark choice. To love as God loves, we must leave our old lives behind. We must leave behind not just the bad, the selfish, and the evil but the ordinary, our daily work, and the important, our families, our lives. Loving as God loves requires a radical transformation, not a smooth transition. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
