Luke 14:25-33

I tove following a recipe that leads to a beautiful, delicious dish, but make a very amateurish move-l start cooking without first reading the recipe to the end. l'll start to saut6 the onions and garlic and then discover I I often

should have marinated the chicken overnight.

The tower-builder and king in today's gospel sound like me. But Jesus was talking about something far more serious-the requirements for discipleship.

He suspected the large crowds following him didn't know what they were getting into. They hadn't read the whole discipleship recipe, which included carrying your cross, leaving family members behind, and renouncing possessions. For many, these requirements were too much.

Have you read the Recipe for Discipleship? Here are some of the instructions: . Make God your first priority-not your money, family, or schedule. . Carry your cross every day without complaining. . Discard possessions that possess you. . Give generously. . Marinate your heart in forgiveness. . You aren't the center of your world. Others are.

Be grateful.

Believe in God even when all you feel is doubt.

Be prepared to lay down your life-for a friend and for the Lord.

to read the whole recipe and still commit wholeheartedly to discipleship. The result is more beautiful than a decadent cheesecake or the finest beef bourguignon. lt's the kingdom of God-and eternal life.

in our behalf

teaches that "those who dwell

i;. J

heaven" regularly intercede with God on (Catechism oJ the Catlwlic Church, 956), and those intercessions include healings. But living people with the power to instantly heal physical and mental ailments are rare. Some "healers" have accomplices who fake illness or disability and are then "cured" for the sole purpose of getting people to give the "healer" money. Y/e should be very skeptical about these claims, because scam artists understand how easy it is to take advantage of people who are desperate for relief of pain or for the cure of a chronic or terminal illness.

One thing is certain: Healing ultimately comes from God. Anyone who claims he or she is the healer and not simply God's instrument is unquestionably a fraud. Suggest to your dad that he talk to his priest before he sends any money to the "healer." The best way for him to help his grandson is to pray for him and donate any money he's saved to an organization that does research into the condition. That way, your father will be helping everyone with the condition-not just your nephew.
