Wednesday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 9:57-62
Lk 9:57-62
As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we continue traveling with Jesus toward Jerusalem. Along the way, after suffering rejection from a Samaritan village, several people come forward wanting to follow the Master. Apparently, Jesus Christ imposes very demanding conditions. Perhaps they are not so extreme after all!
—Could it be that life itself has its own demands? Who has a permanent “den” in this life? Is it not true that sometimes we waste time on “dead things,” that is, useless things? Can someone set out to start a family, a business… and then simpy back out?
