All of today’s readings remind us that we become fully alive through the generous giving of ourselves. In the Gospel of today Jesus invites his disciples to a great sacrifice even death itself for Christ. This leads us to better understand the word of God and link it with our daily activities of life in a meaningful way. The Sunday scriptural readings provide useful background. God speaks to us in many ways, particularly through the word of God. He wants everyone to observe his commands and be close to him in obedience and self-sacrifice. He invites everyone to a close personal relationship with him and when they do wrong and go astray he invites them to a spirit of repentance to make them live a life worthy of him. From the beginning God called human persons to be with him for he is the creator for he has made every human person in his own image and likeness and desires to have constant contact with him. God invites every person to be close to him, to trust him and love him.
