Saint Canera, patroness of Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat with an
oil lamp, the symbol of wisdom and virginity, with a monastery on
an island in the background where she sought spiritual rest. She
was refused entrance to the island but was given Eucharist just
before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

LECTURAS DEL PROXIMO DOMINGO Primera Lectura: Éxodo 32, 7-11. 13-14
Salmo Responsorial: 50, 2-4. 12-13. 17 y 19
Segunda Lectura: 1 Timoteo 1, 12-17
Evangelio: Lucas 15, 1-32
Este domingo podría llamarse "El domingo del Evan-gelio complicado". En el Evangelio (Lucas 14: 25-33), Jesús va al grano cuando le recuerda a sus seguido-res que hay un costo por el discipulado. Él insiste en que absolutamente nada, ni los lazos de los familiares más cercanos, ni el amor a nuestra propia vida, son causa de conflicto con la manera de comprometerse en los camino de Dios. Este compromiso debe ser de todo corazón. En este compromiso, se anima a los discípulos a tomar en cuenta el valor de sus riquezas antes de tomar una decisión. Y todo aquel que no sea capaz de hacer este sacrificio no puede ser su discí-pulo. "Para nosotros, que vivimos en un mundo de op-ciones aparentemente infinitas, hay mucho de donde escoger y todo esto es presentado como aceptable por la sociedad. El Discipulado de Jesús exige que en el contexto de toda esta situación mantengamos nues-tras prioridades en orden."Nuestro reto es saber cuá-les son las decisiones correctas y luego tener el valor de elegirlas. Al elegir a Jesús optamos por crecer en nuestra relación con Dios y con los demás, perdonar a los demás, vivir una vida sencilla para que otros pue-dan simplemente vivir, y asumir la responsabilidad de adquirir y vivir una vida moral en la sociedad. Elegi-mos seguir el camino estrecho del Señor en esta so-ciedad. Sin embargo, nuestra iglesia nos invita este fin de semana a evaluar si estamos viviendo nuestras vidas como verdaderos discípulos de Dios. Reflexionar en ¿cuáles son nuestras prioridades? ¿Que es lo más importante para nosotros? ¿Qué es lo que sacrifica-mos con el fin de seguir el camino de Dios? Ojalá que podamos tomarnos un tiempo esta semana para orar y reflexionar con este Evangelio y ver que tan compro-metidos estamos con las cosas de Dios.

This Sunday could be called “Hard Gospel Sunday”.
In the gospel reading (Luke 14: 25-33), Jesus does
not mince words when he reminds his followers there
is a cost to discipleship. He insists that nothing, neither the closest
family ties nor love of one’s own life, can be placed in conflict with
a commitment to God’s way. This commitment must be whole-
hearted. In making this commitment, disciples are encouraged to
first take stock of their resources before making a decision. Who-
ever cannot make this sacrifice cannot be his disciple. “For us, we
live in a world of seemingly endless choices; there is so much from
which to choose and all of it is presented as acceptable by the
world. Discipleship demands that in the face of all this we keep our
priorities straight.” Our challenge is knowing which choices are
right and then having the courage to follow them. By choosing Je-
sus we opt to grow in our relationship with God and others, to for-
give others, to live simple lives so others may simply live, and to
take responsibility for the moral character of society. We choose to
follow the narrow way of the Lord in the world. Yet, our church in-
vites us this weekend to evaluate if we are living our lives as a true
disciple of God. What are our priorities? What is most important for
us? What do we sacrifice in order to follow the way of God? May
we take time this week to pray on this gospel and see how commit-
ted we are to God’s way. -The quote was taken from Preaching the New Lectionary
by Dianne Bergant and Richard Fragomeni.
