Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. To believe in him means to know how to read, to grasp, his many signs in our...

Jesus shows us how to love in truth God and our neighbor. Out of love for them, he has to sweat blood and give himself wholly. To strive and to sweat. This is what love for God asks of us who are of the Vincentian Family (SV.EN XI:32). That is to say, it is not...

Jesus is the image of the God whom no one has ever seen. Hence, he cannot but reflect God who is merciful, kind, and faithful. No doubt, we Christians want to reflect Jesus. And we believe, of course, that to reflect him means to reflect also the very God whose...

Today’s parable makes clear that those who accept God’s call to his kingdom must clothe themselves appropriately.

Jesus is the sign of contradiction. He brings to light what we harbor in our hearts. He cannot but dare us to be truthful. Jesus does not fail to dare the wise and the learned to choose the good that they learn and receive. That is to say, he asks them to act as...

Jesus is the firstborn from among those who do what is true and come to the light, so that there is no doubt that their works are just. No doubt, we have to love in deed and truth. The second son in the parable says “yes,” but he does not do what the father asks. No...

Jesus goes about doing good; he loves in deed and truth. He does not just commit to an ideology. St. Vincent is like him. St. Vincent wants those who follow him to commit with zeal to those who are poor (SV.FR XI:133-137). And it seems that he himself cannot but...

Jesus makes known to us God, who is good to all and has mercy on all he has made, and whose thoughts and ways we are to admire. The landowner is good to the jobless. But there are those who, rather than admire him, grumble. These are the ones who have worked for...

Jesus is not of the world. Nor are his true disciples. They get to reach what we who are humans find hard to reach. There is no doubt that the way Jesus teaches is not the same as others’ way. For he teaches with authority, not as the scribe. Also, there is such a...

Jesus is always in his Church. Yes, he is in the midst of those who gather together in his name by the initiative of Providence. Jesus wants us disciples to know that we shall receive for sure what we pray for, but on one condition: we will have to agree on what to...
