Spread the Unbelievable Good News

A Savior has been born for us, who is Christ and Lord.  This is the Good News of great joy that the angel brings.  It must spread, for it is for all the people. The decree that there be a census cannot but spread.  And that is why those of the house and family of king...

Abode of Prayer and Hope for All

Jesus makes his abode among us.  He is the house of prayer and hope for all peoples.  And he fulfills God’s promise to David. David plans to build a house that will be the Lord’s abode.  The Lord answers and reminds him of the great things that he has done for him....

Disappointment Due to Our Biases

Jesus is the Christ.  To know him so makes us acknowledge that we are not worthy of him and spares us, too, of all disappointment. Those who come from Jerusalem do not receive John’s baptism; they are there to grill him and judge him.  The priests and the Levites...

Beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ

Jesus is the beginning and the end, and the source and the summit of the Good News.  That is why we point to him by our words and deeds. Mark presents the beginning of the Good News.  But right away he speaks of Isaiah and John.  The last fulfills the prophecy about a...

We discover in Jesus the vision without which we perish demoralized. It is hard even for those who are faithful to keep faith alive and to take as norm the vision of the kingdom of God and his righteousness.  As in Habakkuk’s case, what drives them to question faith...

Jesus is God's resounding “no” to indifference toward the needy. The parable of the unnamed rich man and poor Lazarus condemns indifference toward the poor and helpless. It is not that the rich man is explicitly unjust. Apparently, it does not bother him that...

Creative and Wise Search for the Kingdom

Jesus teaches us the creative and wise search first of the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Undoubtedly, the children of this world look for the power and glory of all the kingdoms of the world very shrewdly and in a creative way.  To verify this, one only needs...

Sinners We Human Beings All Are

Jesus is one with us sinners.  Just like his Father, he takes no pleasure in our death, but rather in our conversion, that we may live. Jesus is concerned about sinners, which shocks the Pharisees and the scribes.  They complain, “This man welcomes sinners and eats...

Way that Leads to Truth and Gives Life

Jesus guides our feet into the way of the Kingdom of God. Great crowds follow Jesus who is on his way to Jerusalem.  But quality is more important to him than quantity.  Hence, he lays out his demands in a disconcerting way. First, Jesus demands that those who seek...

Trust Firmly and Without Reservation

Jesus assures us that God trusts in us.  We trust God because he first trusts us. Better than any prophet, Jesus’ embodies the divine invitation to trust.  That is because the Teacher explains in simple terms that God is the heavenly Father who loves all his children...
