Jesus is the meal to which we are all invited, so that we may not perish but have eternal life. Do we come to it wearing the proper attire? To enter God’s kingdom, it is not enough to be in a meal with Jesus, once, twice or more. He says so as he answers one who...

Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is the roundabout way that means much more to us than all the other roundabout ways God has taken. Many, if not all, have taken roundabout ways. The Hebrews, as God plans it, take a roundabout way as they leave Egypt....

God’s Anointed and Sent One is here. And with him comes great harvest. That is why there is need for not a few laborers. God hears those who pray and ask, “May there be plenty of grain in the land. May it sway on the peaks of the mountains.” But, of course, to...

Jesus is strong in his resolve to go to Jerusalem to live his Paschal Mystery. To be his disciple means to walk with him to the end. Jesus sets out for Jerusalem. He has sent messengers ahead of him to prepare his way, as John did. On the way, the Teacher shows...
