Luke is the evangelist of God's kindness and mercy. How then may we explain the particularly demanding tone of today's Gospel passage? The reason is that it introduces a new stage in the life of Jesus. The time has come to leave Galilee and to "go up to Jerusalem."  For Jesus, this is a turning point, a threshold, a crucial decision committing his whole life. To remain in Galilee is to prolong the easy life of his first successes, it is to give in to the temptation of becoming a temporal Messiah, to be an idol of the crowds.  To go up resolutely to Jerusalem is to accept concretely the will of the Father, which is that Jesus should surrender his life. It is to break away from the past and to move on into an uncertain future in accordance with the Father's will.  Those who want to follow Jesus become homeless displaced people. In today's life there is no place for Jesus and his way. And so also his follower is an outsider, a man or woman incompatible with this programmed world, for he or she does not belong there. His or her life is based on other values. Those who want to share the life and destiny of Jesus must know what is asked of them. They have to let go of their disorderly attachment to their families, their relatives and acquaintances, to their possessions and a comfortable life. They have to keep their mind free and their way turned to the future. The most normal duties and bonds are made relative. One thing is essential and everything else has to give way to this: the mentality with which we have to accompany Jesus on his way.  Today is a good day to reflect on what it means to be a Christian. Have we not become too complacent by approving of so many things, like dishonesty, divorce, extramarital affairs, taking advantage of and exploiting the poor, the weak, and the ignorant? Well, so many do it. Why take religion so seriously?  When are we disciples Jesus? Is it only when we come to church occasionally, such as for baptism, a wedding, and a funeral?  A Christian resolutely takes the road to Jerusalem. It is a road of life that can be painful. To be a Christian means that we write the name of God above everything, above our work, above our marriage, above our freedom. Doing things halfway does not make for joy. A divided heart remains always a restless heart.  If you let God enter only into a part of your life, if you want to follow Jesus up to a certain point only, you will experience your Christian living as a burden, as an unwelcome limitation, a un- freedom, not as an inspiration or a moving force.  If you remain faithful to Jesus in every area of your life, you will also share in the fullness of life that Jesus promises. For the way to Jerusalem is a way to life and saving happiness.   Let's close with a familiar prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola: "Lord, teach me to be generous, Teach me to serve you as you deserve; To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest; To labor and not to ask for any reward; Except to know - that I am doing Your holy will." Amen.

Our life is like a rose. Our life is bautiful because of the love of Jesus-Christ to us. Let us give thanks to Him all the days of our life. Lt us Pray for the canonization of Pope Pius XII. Let us pray for peace and order in the world. Let God reigns in our life. Lt our philosophy be on Jesu. God bless us all. like the Rose that bear bautiful flowrs in spite of many thorns.
