This week on Be Not Afraid, Fr. PJ McManus and Fr. Fabian Moncada break open the readings for the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Wisdom reminds us that without God’s Spirit, human plans falter, but with His guidance our path is made straight. St. Paul appeals to Philemon with radical charity, urging him to see Onesimus no longer as a slave but as a brother in Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus challenges the crowds—and us—to count the cost of discipleship, even to the point of carrying the cross and renouncing all possessions. Join us as we explore what true wisdom, costly discipleship, and Gospel freedom look like in our lives today.
