Reading today’s Gospel leaves me feeling inadequate, unprepared, and materialistic. Can I give up all my possessions? Can I carry the cross? Do I have solid foundations and adequate plans? I hardly feel collected, prepared, or detached.
Yet, what I think the Gospel calls us to do is to put God first and to offer all of our lives, including our possessions, to God. This sentiment is echoed in the “God, Country, Notre Dame” inscription emblazoned on the Memorial entrance to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on Notre Dame’s campus: God comes first. In putting God first and giving to God all that we have, God returns it to us in abundance to go about the work to which we are called.
