Lectionary Reflection, 5th Sunday after Epiphany, Year A, Feb. 5, 2017
If we really want to spread the love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ, then we must quit being so stingy with it. We need to be lavish and prodigal in our sharing of that with which we have been so graciously entrusted. This is the fast God desires for us. (Photo: Amir Farshad Ebrahimi, Creative Commons)

What do the words of Jesus and the Prophet have to say to us about discipleship this week? Plenty! While the instructions are tough ones to hear and follow, we are not alone and we do not “fast” in vain.
