Gospel: Luke 9:57-62 “I will follow you where ever you go.”
Homily summary: We often say, “I miss you.” This helps us understand our relationship with God. The Psalm reading today said, “Let my tongue be silent if I ever forget you Jerusalem.” We don’t want to forget the one we love.
In today’s Gospel there are three people. They all said they wanted to follow Jesus, but they all came up with excuses. How many times do we make excuses? Especially in prayer. “I have to go somewhere else,” we say to the Lord. “Later I’ll talk with you.”
But the Ten Commandments remind us that God is first. Let us say to God, “I don’t want to live without you.”
