Foreigner No More, but Fellow Citizen
Christ Jesus preaches the Good News of peace to all. To be his means to be a foreigner no more, but fellow citizen with all those who are his. The foreigner, who sees that has been healed, lives by faith. The other nine, in turn, for whom healing has also taken...
Living Faith of Useless Servants
Jesus is the source and summit of our faith. We fix our eyes on him so that we may always have a steadfast and living faith. The Father makes known his things and the things of his kingdom to the simple and lowly. Hence, it should not come as a surprise that theirs...

Christ, self-emptying and lowly, is the one whom guests eat and drink at the Holy Supper. All of them are poor; they cannot pay him back. For the Pharisees, good Jews do not eat lunch, dinner or supper with sinners. Maybe they think that to get close to those...
Seek First, Yes, the Kingdom of God
Jesus is the gate; those who go in through him will be saved. Their concern is to seek first the kingdom of God and his justice.
Price of the Peace of Christ Jesus
Christ Jesus is our peace. For he makes us one with God and each other through the cross. Hence, this peace comes at a great price, not of silver or gold, but of Christ’s body and blood. As he teaches his disciples to trust God, and not wealth, Jesus seems to go...
