Jesus does not fail to save those who cry out to him for help in nights of gloom and storm.  For he is the Son of God. For Jesus, to save folks means, in concrete, to free them from illnesses and hunger.  And for the Teacher, to save his disciples is not to let them...

From no more than five loaves and two fish, Jesus feeds more than five thousand.  All eat and have their fill, and there are leftovers still. A small mustard seed turns into a large bush; a bit of yeast leavens the whole batch.  In a similar way, five loaves and two...

As he dies for us sinners, Jesus makes known that God loves us very much.  That is, we are very dear in the eyes of God and of Jesus, of course.   To love is not about us loving God.  Rather, it is about God loving us and sending his Son to atone for our sins.  That...

Jesus, the image of the invisible God, makes known the mercy and might of the one who rules over all.  So, might can be merciful.   By experience, we know quite well that to have might in the world means to be a tyrant.  But we have before us another kind of might,...

Jesus is meek and lowly of heart. That is why simple folks readily go to him and they feel at ease with him. Jesus has done most of his miracles in Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum. Yet these cities do not welcome what he has taught and preached. And it is so since...

Jesus, the Messiah, is our only Teacher; he has the words of eternal life. His true disciples follow him in his suffering, death and rising.

Jesus is the one the Father has sent to world to defend the poor.  To deliver the lives of the poor from the power of the wicked is, of course, part of such a mission.   Jeremiah’s mission was tough.  But the prophet did not give it up, nor did he let the terror on...

Jesus, the proof in person that God loves us, has pity for those who are weak and left behind.  To have such pity is the calling of those who are his. The calling of the members of the Congregation of the Mission asks them to go all over the world (SV.EN...

Jesus gives us his flesh to eat and his blood to drink.  For he wants us to live on earth as in heaven.  That is, sharing in the Eucharist commits us to live as he. We are told that the Eucharist shows that love is inventive to infinity (SV.EN XI:131-132).  For such...
