GOSPEL OF 6th NOV. - The Cost of Discipleship and the Choice to Follow Christ

In this Gospel, Jesus challenges His followers to a deep commitment, asking them to place their love for Him above all other relationships and attachments. He calls for a discipleship that embraces the “cross” of faith, symbolizing a life of courage, authenticity, and dedication. Using examples of a tower builder and a king preparing for war, Jesus highlights the need for careful preparation, sacrifice, and the letting go of material security to follow Him fully. This path, though demanding, leads to a life rooted in God’s love and open to giving wholeheartedly to others.
