For the first Ordinary Time reading this week, the Gospel comes from Luke 9:51-62. We encounter those who will not accept Jesus into their town even as he is just traveling through the area and the extreme opposite with those who say they are ready to follow him. These men want to follow Jesus only after they do certain things...bury their father or say goodbye to their family first. While it seems harsh that Jesus would say something like, "No, the time is now" essentially what he is saying is "there's no time to wait". Isn't this relatable to all of us today? Many times there's been a stirring but we want to follow Jesus on our own terms, when it's easy or when the timing is more convenient. Jesus's response to us is, if you feel the call to #livemysunday "then the time is now."
