Counting the Cost: Homily for the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year C)
Manage episode 340171360 series 2275390
When Jesus says, “Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost?” he’s not really talking about building a tower. He’s illustrating a point about Christian discipleship. Being Christ’s disciple is a major undertaking. It’s not just coming to church on Sunday. It’s about taking up your cross and following Christ every single day of your life; in all your actions, all your decisions, all your relationships. Have we thought about what discipleship will cost us?
Homily preached by Deacon Matthew Newsome on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022, at St. Mary Mother of God Roman Catholic Church in Sylva, NC.
