Leonardo Jaramillo, Ph.D. EL EVANGELIO DE HOY Luke 9:51-62 Year of Mercy Cuando estaba por cumplirse el tiempo de su elevación al cielo, Jesús se encaminó decididamente hacia Jerusalén y envió mensajeros delante de él. Ellos partieron y entraron en un pueblo de Samaría para prepararle alojamiento. Pero no lo recibieron porque se dirigía a Jerusalén. Cuando sus discípulos Santiago y Juan vieron esto, le dijeron: "Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos caer fuego del cielo para consumirlos?". Pero él se dio vuelta y los reprendió. Y se fueron a otro pueblo. Mientras iban caminando, alguien le dijo a Jesús: "¡Te seguiré adonde vayas!". June 26th, 2016 THE ST.

GOSPEL REFLECTION God's grace sets us free -- from intolerance and Throughout Jewish history it was traditional for Jews to prejudice and from everything that would keep us demonstrate repentance through washing ceremonies. fromthe following him. When Jesus made John Baptist was preaching repentance for the coming preparation to enter a Samaritan village he was of God's reign. His baptism may have been related to the met with opposition, no doubt because purifying washings of the Essenes at Qumran near thethe Samaritans perceived that he belonged to the was God's anointed one.

Although Jesus' indignant and(vwanted to see Jesus had no need of repentance, he entered the murky retribution. Jesus, in turn, rebukes them for their waters where the people had been baptized, thereby lack of toleration. Jesus had set his face toward uniting himself with sinful humanity. The baptism of Jesus Jerusalem order to die that Jew, Samaritan and was anotherin"epiphany," or manifestation of the divine Gentile might be reconciled with God and be made presence.

A would-be disciple responded by saying, I must first go and bury my father, that is, go back home and take care of him until he died. Jesus surprised his disciples by telling that they must not look back on what they have freely given up, but instead keep their focus clearly on the goal they have set for their lives, union and happiness with God in his kingdom. A plowman who looked back caused his furrow to be crooked. Likewise, if we look back our path will likely diverge and we'll miss what God has for us. When the going is rough or the way ahead looks uncertain, we are tempted to look back to the "good old days" or to look for "greener turf". For Reflection: Are you resolved to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and to "stay the course" in following him to the end? LIFE’S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK 1.
