31st Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 14:25-33






*Friends, in our Gospel today the Lord offers one of the greatest, most
"slap you in the face" challenges he ever offered. "If anyone comes to me
without hating his father and mother…and even his own life, he cannot be my
disciple." There is the great spiritual principle that undergirds the
entire Gospel: detachment. The heart of the spiritual life is to love God
and then to love everything else for the sake of God. But we sinners, as
St. Augustine said, fall into the trap of loving the creature and
forgetting the Creator. That's when we get off the rails. We treat
something less than God as God—and trouble ensues. And this is why Jesus
tells his fair-weather fans that they have a very stark choice to make.
Jesus must be loved first and last—and everything else in their lives has
to find its meaning in relation to him. In typical Semitic fashion, he
makes this point through a stark exaggeration: "Unless you hate your mother
and father, wife and children, sisters and brothers...." Well yes, hate
them in the measure that they have become gods to you. For precisely in
that measure are they dangerous.*
