Disciples reviewed

The Text from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today offers a reflection on the nature of discipleship. Fr Robert Barron asserts the world changing consequence of Paul’s decision to follow the Spirit to Europe. This short preview from the video series Catholicism captures the mission taught Paul by Jesus. Friar Jude Winkler comments on how Paul countered problematic Corinthians by serving all in whatever manner they needed. The letter to the Corinthians tells how he made himself a slave to all. The Gospel from Luke declares the relationship Jesus shows between teacher and disciple. Don Schwager understands that the healing necessary for the disciple to see the blank in his own eye comes from the Divine Physician. Maureen McCann Waldron quotes Pope Francis who challenges the disciples of Jesus to stop being gossips. A look within ourselves will reveal gifts from God which when brought to serve others will reduce our hypocrisy as we strive to walk in Jesus steps.
