Following Christ is greatest

Manila Bulletin

September 6, 2025

Jesus’ words of Christ in the 23rd Sunday’s gospel sound harsh, blunt, and even disrespectful.

- FR. BEL SAN LUIS, SVD

But the Lord, in his Semitic way of teaching, is emphasizing an important message. He’s saying that nothing, not even family relationships, should stand in the way of following him completely. If a conflict of interest arises or work or leisure interfere, a disciple should prefer to follow Jesus.

For instance, some parents discourage a son or daughter who wants to follow the Lord in the religious life. Those parents will be answerable to the Lord.
