Jubilee Year of Mercy September 4, 2016 Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

"If anyone comes to me without hating . . . father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his [or her] own life" (Luke 14:26). Hating? Can anyone imagine a less appropriate Gospel for the Jubilee Year of Mercy? But scholars call this Semitic hyperbole. Jesus exaggerates to jolt us into confronting life-changing challenges. Faced with conflicting loyalties, disciples must reorder priorities, even relationships, to give Jesus and the gospel's demands first place. Today's second reading presents a real-life example. Paul challenges his wealthy convert, Philemon, to welcome back Philemon's runaway slave, Onesimus, whom Paul has baptized in prison, with unconditional love, as an equal and brother in Christ. What in my life must I change to accept everyone in Christ like love?

O Jesus,

I pray for your faithful and

fervent priests;

for your unfaithful & tepid

priests;

for your priests laboring at

home or abroad in distant

mission fields;

for your tempted priests;

for your lonely & desolate

priests;

for your young priests;

for your dying priests;

for the souls of your priests

in Purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to

you the priests dearest to me:

the priest who baptized me,

the priests who absolved me

from my sins, the priests at

whose Masses I assisted &

who gave me Your body &

blood in Communion,

the priests to whom I am

indebted any other way

especially (name….)

O Jesus, keep them all close to

your heart, and bless them

abundantly in time & in

eternity. Amen. --St. Therese of Lisieux
