Today's Gospel November 4, 2020 with the words of Pope Francis

READING OF THE DAY
From the letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Philippites
Phil 2,12-18

Dear ones, you who have always been obedient, not only when I was present but much more now that I am far away, dedicate yourselves to your salvation with respect and fear. Indeed, it is God who arouses in you the will and the work according to his plan of love.
Do everything without murmuring and without hesitation, in order to be blameless and pure, innocent children of God in the midst of an evil and perverse generation. In their midst you shine like stars in the world, holding firm the word of life.
Thus in the day of Christ I will be able to boast that I have not run in vain, nor in vain have labored. But, even though I must be poured out on the sacrifice and offering of your faith, I am happy and enjoy it with all of you. Likewise, you too enjoy it and rejoice with me.

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Luke
Lc 14,25-33

At that time, a large crowd was going with Jesus. He turned and said to them:
“If someone comes to me and does not love me more than he loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. He who does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

Who among you, wanting to build a tower, doesn't sit down first to calculate the cost and see if you have the means to complete it? To avoid that, if he lays the foundations and is unable to finish the job, everyone they see begins to laugh at him, saying, "He started building, but he wasn't able to finish the job."
Or what king, going to war against another king, does not sit down first to examine whether he can face with ten thousand men whoever comes to meet him with twenty thousand? If not, while the other is still far away, he sends him messengers to ask for peace.

So whoever of you does not renounce all his possessions, cannot be my disciple ».

WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER
The disciple of Jesus renounces all goods because he has found in him the greatest Good, in which every other good receives its full value and meaning: family ties, other relationships, work, cultural and economic goods and so on. away ... The Christian detaches himself from everything and finds everything in the logic of the Gospel, the logic of love and service. (Pope Francis, Angelus September 8, 2013
