The 23rd Sunday of the Year
Wis 9: 13-18 Phlm 9-10, 12-17, Lk 14: 25-33 (year c)

The Gospel according to Luke is a carefully depicted drama describing the final journey of Jesus to Jerusalem. Within that Holy City, hallowed by centuries of worship and suffering, his mission would be accomplished in his death and Resurrection.

From that same city, with the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, his ministry would reach out to the whole world. Like those disciples long ago, we accompany Jesus on that journey to Jerusalem.
