From Fr. Mike’s Desk
Many times during the months of May or June
we are invited to many functions like First Communions, Confirmations, Graduations, Weddings,
Bar-B-Qs (like the parish Bar-B-Q that is happening right after the 11:30 Mass this weekend), or
whatever. I am sure that at times you have been
invited to two or three events which were happening on the same day and they were in different directions from each other. When this happens we
are forced to choose which event we are going to
attend. And there are times when we are invited to
an event that we really want to go to, but we cannot because of work or some other pressing matter. Every so often we know of a great event that
will be coming and we just cannot wait for the invitation to come, and when it does, we respond
right away and we will make sure that nothing
stands in our way from going.
Today’s readings tell us about invitations given; one by Elijah the Prophet to his successor the
Prophet Elisha and the other in the Gospel when
Jesus tells someone to “Follow me.” Notice how
these invitations were answered. Elisha who
wanted to accept the invitation, first wants to say
goodbye to his family, and this meant more than
just a walk home, coming into the house and saying goodbye. Immediately Elijah criticized the
younger man, who reacts by dropping everything
and follows the great Prophet until Elijah is taken
from him in the Firey Chariot. Jesus told those
who wished to follow Him that they likewise must
give an immediate answer to God’s invitation. To
follow Christ means we have to accept a radical
change in our lives, to embrace the Cross, and we
must be willing to do whatever we are asked to do
to spread the Gospel. As Jesus tells us, it requires
that we do not look back, and that we, like Jesus
serve the Father with our whole heart, mind and
soul. It means that we should not allow creature
comforts, wealth or anything or anyone to stand in
our way of accepting the Good News and putting
it into action. If we say yes, I want to follow you
Jesus, but not right now, we are being told we are
not fit for the Kingdom of God. So we are required to come back with an immediate yes!
You and I have said yes, to Jesus or we would
not be here in the first place, and yet we know that
there are times and places in our lives where we
have said no! There have been times when we
have allowed people, things, or both to get in the
way of our truly saying yes to God and truly
stopped us from embracing the Cross. Does this
mean we are unfit for the Kingdom of God? Well
the answer is yes and no! Yes, because these
things or people are standing in our way of fully
accepting the Gospel; and no, because we are
struggling not to let this happen. We should realize that this is a part of embracing our cross, for
when we struggle, we are saying that we want to
truly be like Jesus and love God above all things.
Also no, because we are acknowledging what
stands in our way (not denying it or running away
from it or making excuses) and we are asking Jesus to help us get beyond any obstacles.
In a sense, we are just like Elisha who at first
hesitated and then decided that he would answer
the call and follow the Prophet. We have been
called to follow and imitate one who is far greater
than any prophet; we have been called to follow
and be like the Son of God. So try everything to
not let anything stand in your way or keep you
from saying YES!
Again do not forget the Parish Family Bar-B-Q
today and the Summer Parish Festival coming
in August, how can you say NO!
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, you break the chains of
sin and death and invite us to the freedom of
God’s Children. Help us to turn to you now and
not to turn back to the ways of the passing world.
Amen
God bless you always
