Father Perry’s daily reflections

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"What do you wish for me to do for you?" was the question Jesus put to his disciples. Their answer? They wanted "seats of honor" in Jesus' kingdom.
What if Jesus asked the same question of us? What would we want? What would we say? Do we even know?
What is most important so much so, it would be our grand request of the Lord? Again, today, Jesus tells us "the way."
It should be familiar by now — service, take the last place, love, forgive, have compassion, take up our cross.
XXVIII Domingo Ordinario
"¿Qué es lo que desean?" fue la pregunta que Jesús les hizo a sus discípulos.
¿La respuesta de ellos? Querían "asientos de honor" en el reino de Jesús.
¿Qué pasaría si Jesús nos hiciera la misma pregunta? ¿Qué querríamos? ¿Qué diríamos? ¿Acaso lo sabemos?
¿Qué es lo más importante, tanto que sería nuestra gran petición al Señor?
Nuevamente, hoy Jesús nos dice "el camino". Ya debería resultarnos familiar: servicio, ocupar el último lugar, amar, perdonar, tener compasión, tomar nuestra cruz.
