Luke 17:12-19
In just a few sentences penned by St. Luke we discover two things: how to find eternal life, and what is wrong in religion. After we have read this passage we might be just a little upset with those nine men who didn’t return to Jesus to thank him. They didn’t seem to be all that grateful, did they? What would we have done in the same situation? Would we return to give thanks to Christ, or would we have run back to family, friends, and neighbors?
Luke 20:19-26

Christmas is only three weeks away, and there is a lot to distract us from our spiritual journey to the feast. We need to be reminded every so often of why God chose to send His Son to us, to live among us in the flesh. He was born in order to heal the image of God within us, for this image had been corroded and defaced by sin.

Are we not tempted to look at the Church in the wrong way when we consider it to be primarily an earthly organization? St. Paul does not do this, and in today’s epistle reading he describes the deep reality of church life in four increasingly powerful images.
Luke 10:25-37

A lawyer (a student of God’s Law) confronts Jesus (the giver and interpreter of the Law). They have two distinct goals: one wants to enter into an intriguing debate, and one wants to reveal the Kingdom of God. “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” asks the lawyer. The question is an important one.
Luke 9:57-62

St. John once wrote to a church lukewarm in its faith. He included words from the Lord Himself: “because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth.” (Rev. 3:16) This church was complacent, much as the Christians of our time are complacent. All around us people are willing to make extraordinary commitments for material wants. But when we are asked to make a commitment to something truly important, we can’t seem to do it.
