Know Love just as Jesus Shows It to Us

Jesus on the cross lets us know love as one can show it in the greatest way.  Such love makes us live and lifts us up.  Of course, Mary of Magdala does know love just as Jesus shows it to her.  Or she would not love him back and go at the crack of dawn to visit his...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Jesus does not condemn us but saves us.  Hence, we who say we are his are not to condemn others.  And this means we should first admit that we are sinners also. The gospel two Sundays ago did not tell us if the fig tree got to bear fruit.  Nor did last Sunday’s gospel...

Adjust the Stones for a Building

Jesus makes God known to us as our Father who loves us too much.  We get to adjust to such love as the Father hugs us and kisses us. The Pharisees and the scribes cannot adjust to what they see:  publicans and sinners going to Jesus to listen to him.  So, they murmur...

Save Us Human Beings from Our Sins

The son of Mary has received the name Jesus.  For he has come not to judge us, but to save us from our sins.  We do not know why folks brought Jesus the news about Pilate’ cruel and sacrilegious deed against Galileans.  But no matter their reasons, today’s gospel...
Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Model to Follow as regard Praying

Jesus is the perfect model of the life of prayer.  He always walks in the presence of God, listens to him and obeys him to death. Last Sunday, Luke showed us Jesus as the model, to follow in times of testing.  Today, he teaches us that our model in all our actions...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Example or Model to Imitate and Follow

Jesus obeyed to death.  Hence, we focus on him, on his word and example.  For only thus will we learn to obey like him and not fail the test. Luke wants that, through his writing, Theophilus gets to be one of Jesus’ true and strong pupils.  Hence, we can say that the...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Pupils, Men and Women, of Jesus Christ

Jesus, the Messiah or Christ, is the one true Teacher we have. Hence, we let no one call us teachers, since we are, rather, his pupils.  In today’s gospel, Jesus still has for pupils not just his apostles and disciples but all those who hear him. He now teaches them...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Strengthen and Pierce our Hearts

Jesus is the Word of God, which does not fail to strengthen the weak and to make rich those who are poor.  It also pierces the hearts that are the hardest, so as to heal them.  The twelve apostles, many disciples and many other folks are with Jesus.  And he, then,...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Fish alongside Our Master, Jesus

Jesus is the Word of God that bears fruit and carries out all the tasks it receives.  To listen to it means to catch plenty of fish.  Simon who catches fish for a living, shows that he is glad to receive Jesus.  He lets him get into his boat and use it as a pulpit....

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Look into Who Jesus Is with Care

Jesus is God’s Word made flesh.  A since he lives in our midst, he calls us, in effect, to know him and look into who he truly is.  Luke seems to be a stickler for precision and details about Jesus.  For the evangelist says he is a writer who does look into facts and...

Admit that We Are Also Sinners

Hour of the Final Revelation of the New

Jesus brings in the new thing that God makes.  And it springs forth at this very hour.  Do we see it?  And do we welcome it? The wine runs short at a wedding that the mother of Jesus, he and his disciples attend.  As she finds this out, she points it out to her son....
