“Let the Dead Bury Their Dead”

 

✝️ THINGS JESUS SAID THAT WE STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

🎙️ Episode 4 — “Let the Dead Bury Their Dead”
The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns

📖 Luke 9:59–60

Did Jesus really tell someone not to bury his own father?

At first glance, these words of Jesus seem shocking, even harsh. How could the same Jesus who wept at the tomb of Lazarus tell someone to let the dead bury their dead?

But what if Jesus wasn't really talking about death at all? What if he was teaching us something profound about how we should live?

In this powerful fourth episode of our series, Things Jesus Said That We Still Don't Understand, Deacon Pat Kearns explores one of the most challenging statements in the Gospels.

We'll discover why Jesus calls us to put God first, the spiritual danger of constantly saying "someday," and how easily we can become so busy living our lives that we forget what truly matters.

❤️ Here's the question for today: What is God asking you to do that you've been putting off?

Maybe it's forgiving someone, returning to prayer, reconnecting with your faith, or simply telling someone you love them.

Jesus reminds us that following him isn't something we should postpone until tomorrow.

The time to begin is today.

🙏 Join us for this thought-provoking reflection and discover how these difficult words of Jesus can awaken us to a more meaningful, purposeful, and faith-filled life.
