When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village. As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” New Revised Standard Version, copyright 1989, by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

While he had gathered a group of friends around himself, and they seem to have spent a great deal of time together, they still struggled to understand who he truly was. They were often distracted by their own desires, not inspired by his. Jesus “set his face” to follow the will of God and go to Jerusalem. He was “resolutely determined” (NAB translation). Jesus knew his destiny, yet he obeyed the will of the Father. A favorite statue of St. Ignatius depicts him leaning into a strong headwind. He was resolute to go wherever Jesus called him to go, even in times of struggle. The headwinds of our lives often evoke responses like those of the followers of Jesus. We say we want to do what Jesus did, but that may lead us down a lonely path. —Fr. Mark Luedtke, SJ, is completing his term as president of Loyola High School in Detroit and will soon leave for his tertianship experience in Cape Town, South Africa. Prayer Lord Jesus, may our hearts be filled with gratitude that you have set your face to do the will of the Father: to love us, even when we fail to truly understand your will. Help us be resolute in following you wherever you lead and, in so doing, love others as you do. —Fr. Mark Luedtke, SJ The post June 30, 2019 appeared first on Jesuit Prayer.

NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU (C) – misna čitanja Prvo čitanje: 1Kr 19,16b.19-21 Čitanje Prve knjige o Kraljevima U one dane: Reče Gospodin Iliji: »Pomaži Elizeja, sina Šafatova, iz Abel Mehole, za proroka namjesto sebe.« Ilija ode odanle i nađe Elizeja, sina Šafatova, gdje ore: pred njim dvanaest jarmova, sâm bijaše kod dvanaestoga. Ilija priđe k njemu i baci na nj svoj plašt. On ostavi volove, potrča za Ilijom i reče: »Dopusti mi da zagrlim svoga oca i majku pa ću poći za tobom.« Ilija mu odgovori: »Idi, vrati se; ja sam svoje učinio.« On ode, uze jaram volova i žrtvova ih. Volujskim jarmom skuha meso i dade ga ljudima da jedu. Zatim ustade i pođe za Ilijom da ga poslužuje. Otpjevni psalam: 16,1-2a.5.7-11 Pripjev: Ti si, Gospodine, baština moja! Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem. Gospodinu rekoh: »Ti si moj gospodar!« Gospodin mi je baština i čaša: ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu. Blagoslivljam Gospodina koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje. Gospodin mi je svagda pred očima jer mi je zdesna da ne posrnem. Stog mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, pa i tijelo mi spokojno počiva. Jer mi nećeš ostavit dušu u podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. Pokazat ćeš mi stazu života, puninu radosti lica svoga, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno. Drugo čitanje: Gal 5, 1.13-18 Čitanje Poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Galaćanima Braćo: Za slobodu nas Krist oslobodi! Držite se dakle i ne dajte se ponovno u jaram ropstva! Doista vi ste, braćo, na slobodu pozvani! Samo neka ta sloboda ne bude izlikom tijelu, nego – ljubavlju služite jedni drugima. Ta sav je Zakon ispunjen u jednoj jedinoj riječi, u ovoj: Ljubi bližnjega svoga kao sebe samoga! Ako li pak jedni druge grizete i glođete, pazite da jedni druge ne proždrete. Hoću reći: po Duhu živite pa nećete ugađati požudi tijela! Jer tijelo žudi protiv Duha, a Duh protiv tijela. Doista, to se jedno drugomu protivi da ne činite što hoćete. Ali ako vas Duh vodi, niste pod Zakonom. Evanđelje: Lk 9, 51-62 Čitanje svetog Evanđelja po Luki Kad su se navršili dani da bude uznesen, krenu Isus sa svom odlučnošću prema Jeruzalemu. I posla glasnike pred sobom. Oni odoše i uđoše u neko samarijansko selo da mu priprave mjesto. No ondje ga ne primiše jer je bio na putu u Jeruzalem. Kada to vidješe učenici Jakov i Ivan, rekoše: »Gospodine, hoćeš li da kažemo neka oganj siđe s neba i uništi ih?« No on se okrenu i prekori ih. I odoše u drugo selo. Dok su išli putom, reče mu netko: »Za tobom ću kamo god ti pošao.« Reče mu Isus: »Lisice imaju jazbine, ptice nebeske gnijezda, a Sin Čovječji nema gdje bi glavu naslonio.« Drugomu nekom reče: »Pođi za mnom!« A on će mu: »Dopusti mi da prije odem i pokopam oca.« Reče mu: »Pusti neka mrtvi pokapaju svoje mrtve, a ti idi i navješćuj kraljevstvo Božje.« I neki drugi reče: »Za tobom ću, Gospodine, ali dopusti mi da se prije oprostim sa svojim ukućanima.« Reče mu Isus: »Nitko tko stavi ruku na plug pa se obazire natrag nije prikladan za kraljevstvo Božje.«
