The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church 116 Melbourne Avenue, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 2DU Tel 01245 354256 Email: [email protected]Website: blessedsacramentchelmsford.net TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY OF THE YEAR Sunday 8 th September 2019 Gospel Reflection: Luke 14:25-33: The Cost of Discipleship Jesus does not pull his punches, and here delivers a series of devastating body-blows to anyone who is looking for easy discipleship. All through this journey which culminates in Jesus’ own death at Jerusalem the cost of discipleship has been a recurrent theme: ‘Let the dead bury their dead’ (13th Sunday), the Parable of the Rich Fool (18th Sunday), ‘From one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded’ (19th Sunday), ‘Father against son, son against father’ (20th Sunday), and now ‘Hate father and mother’ and ‘Give up all your possessions’. A certain amount of the vigour of these demands may be attributed to a Semitic (Hebrew/Aramaic) mode of expression (they would often use superlatives and rarely use comparatives), but there is no doubt about the absolute demands made on the disciple. When Jesus made these demands he knew what lay ahead of him, and was only asking his disciples to follow his own course. We must count the cost before beginning to build the tower. Most of us have, of course, already started to build the tower by responding to Jesus’ call. There is no turning back from the plough (13th Sunday); only pray for a courage and loyalty which exceed our own powers. Why does Jesus use such fierce language? What is the hardest thing about trying to be a disciple of Christ?
