A scribe approached and said to him, \u201cTeacher, I will follow you wherever you go.\u201d Jesus answered him, \u201cFoxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.\u201d Another of his disciples said to him, \u201cLord, let me go first and bury my father.\u201d But Jesus answered him, \u201cFollow me, and let the dead bury their dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Opening Prayer:<\/b> Lord Jesus, I know this life is not the end, that I am just passing through on my way to my eternal home with you. Help me to always put you first in my life and never let anything come between us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n\t<li class=\"li1\"><b>Love Comes First:<\/b> Matthew\u2019s Gospel is the first book of the New Testament and, therefore, a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. It was written by a Jew, a former tax collector, to his fellow Jews, about the new Kingdom. Many modern readers dislike Matthew\u2019s Gospel because of its hard sayings, like the one found in today\u2019s reading. In this part of the Gospel, Jesus had not yet called apart his Twelve Apostles. Some newcomers had approached Jesus, and Jesus had some harsh sayings for them. Following him wasn\u2019t easy then, and it isn\u2019t easy now. Our relationship with Jesus must be our highest priority in life\u2014higher than even the good priorities that are part of caring for our human family. Of course, we know that the burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy (cf. Tob 1:16-18); it honors the children of God who are temples of the Holy Spirit (CCC 2300). Yet, the pursuit of divine holiness trumps even the legitimate wishes of our human family. While this scenario may seem a bit extreme, and we are called to carefully discern God\u2019s will, the point is clear: loving God always comes first. \u201cLove\u2026 and do what you will,\u201d said St. Augustine. If love is our <i>modus operandi<\/i>, God takes care of the details.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/li>\n\t<li class=\"li1\"><b>Hard Teachings:<\/b> Christ is Our Lord, and as Lord he demands the very best for his followers. Christ is a passionate lover and only demands what he knows we need. Flannery O\u2019Connor once said: \u201cTo the hard of hearing, you must shout,\u201d which is one reason why some of her writings are difficult to digest. Jesus, at times, seemed to shout into our world, but it was necessary because we are all somewhat deaf due to original sin. \u201cOriginal sin entails captivity under the power of him who thenceforth had the power of death, that is, the devil. Ignorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature inclined to evil gives rise to serious errors of education, politics, social action, and morals\u201d (CCC 407). Yet, Christ\u2019s demands are always signs that he loves us\u2026 even more than life itself.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/li>\n\t<li class=\"li1\"><b>A Pure Heart: <\/b>Many people in Jesus\u2019 day misinterpreted obedience to the moral law as a performance, an external behavior, and they obeyed it to the letter. Yet Jesus as God demands more, not less, than the strict observances of the law. God wants our hearts\u2014our pure hearts. God is a lover, not a slave driver. God wants all of us, our whole person, not just certain behaviors; he wants our whole selves. But the spiritual physics of giving him our all is that he gives it back to us and then some. God is always about the more. \u201cI came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly\u201d (Jn 10:10).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b> Lord, help me today to make sure that what I say and do always increases my love for you and for our Father. Please help me also to assist my neighbor to grow in his love for God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution:<\/b> Lord, today by your grace I will look carefully at how I spend my free time and schedule extra time in dialogue to listen to you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>For Further Reflection:<\/b> Read the <i>Catechism of the Catholic Church<\/i> 222-227, on the implications of faith in one God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Janet Scanlan is a lifelong Catholic, wife, mother, and grandmother, who is passionate about helping people know and live the love of Christ through marriage ministry, evangelization, writing, and work as a spiritual director.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the audio version June 30, 2025 &#8211;
