Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - C - June 30, 2013 What Does It Take To Be A Disciple? What qualities are required to follow Jesus? Jesus wants us to be faithful. He wants us to put him first. And, he wants us to put our full attention on him. Those are tall demands, but we can make progress towards the ideal of the disciple. TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - June 23, 2013 DAILY READINGS FOR THE TWELTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME MP3 PODCAST In this week's audio podcast, we discuss spiritual maturity, the struggle of ownership. Whose in charge of the heart, me or God? FIRST READING 1 Kings presented the call of Elisha, the prophet who left everything to follow Elijah and serve God. PSALM Psalm 16 prayed for safety in a hostile world. Following YHWH would give comfort and inner peace. SECOND READING In his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul told his audience to follow the Spirit, not the ways of pure self-interest. This was the only way to true freedom. GOSPEL In Luke 9, James and John wanted to destroy a village that rejected Jesus, but the Master turned his focus on the commitment needed to be a disciple. CHILDREN'S READINGS In the story for the gospel, Marissa wrote a list of qualities that a perfect friend would have. Her qualities included loyalty, priority and single-mindedness. That's the kind of friend Jesus wants us to be. FAMILY ACTIVITY How do we put Jesus first in our lives? Create a “Put Jesus First” calendar with activities that can be achieved. |
