How should we respond to such an unreasonable love? Surely with comparable unreasonability!
Homily for the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, delivered in Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church, Mt Larcom, Qld.
"One day when he came, he retired to the upper room and lay down. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Call our Shunammitess. Tell her this: “Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us, what can we do for you? Is there anything you would like said for you to the king or to the commander of the army?”’ But she replied, ‘I live with my own people about me.’ ‘What can be done for her then?’ he asked. Gehazi answered, ‘Well, she has no son and her husband is old.’ Elisha said, ‘Call her.’" (cf. 2 Kings 4).
"Happy the people who acclaim such a king, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who find their joy every day in your name, who make your justice the source of their bliss." (cf. Ps 89).
"... we believe that having died with Christ we shall return to life with him: Christ, as we know, having been raised from the dead will never die again." (cf. Rom 6).
"Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘Anyone who prefers father or mother to me is not worthy of me. Anyone who prefers son or daughter to me is not worthy of me. Anyone who does not take his cross and follow in my footsteps is not worthy of me. Anyone who finds his life will lose it; anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it.'..." (cf. Mt 10).
