Homily for 23 Sunday in Ordinary Time C. Fatherhood.

Today’s Gospel challenges us to consider the true cost of discipleship. Jesus reminds us that following Him means carrying our cross and placing Him above all else. What does this mean for our daily lives, relationships, and priorities? As we also celebrate Father’s Day, we give thanks for the gift of fathers, grandfathers, spiritual fathers, and all who nurture and guide us in faith. Just as God the Father calls us to walk in wisdom and love, fathers are called to lead with courage, sacrifice, and compassion.
