Memorial of Saint Francis of Assisi, Year I

Luke 9:57-62

Friends, *our Gospel for today is an especially good exemplification of the
principle of detachment. *When Jesus is the unambiguous center of your
life, then everything else finds its place around him, in relation to him. And
*anything that would assert itself and take **his position* *must be
resisted wholeheartedly* *as an idol and a temptation.*



We watch as Jesus clarifies for his disciples how a number of worldly goods
fall away, once he is recognized as Lord. I want to look closely at one of
these. *As Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem, a man approaches him and says,
"I will follow you wherever you go". And Jesus makes the laconic remark,
"Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has
nowhere to lay his head".* One of the things, quite naturally, that we
savor is home, a place to stay, a nest, a man-cave. There is just something
uniquely awful about being displaced, about starting all over. *We all want
a place to lay our heads.*



*But if Jesus is first in our lives, then we cannot **absolutize **this
good thing. **We have to be willing to follow him wherever he wants us to
go.*
