“Whoever fulfills them and teaches them will be great.” Mt. 5:17-19 Jesus makes it clear in this passage of today’s Gospel that he did not come to abolish the Law but to give it fullness. It is not a question of eliminating the commandments, but of taking them to their deepest meaning: love. The Law, …
“Bear with me” “not seven, but seventy times seven”. Mt 18:21-35 Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive, as if seeking a reasonable limit. Jesus responds by breaking all accounts: “not seven, but seventy times seven.” Christian forgiveness is not measured; it is born of the love received. Jesus reminds us that forgiveness …
“Jesus made his way among them and went on his way.” Lk. 4:24-30 Jesus is rejected by his own people. Those who have known him forever are unable to recognize in him the one sent by God.

“Son, remember that you received your goods while you were alive.” Lk. 16:19-31 Jesus does not present us with a wicked rich man or a perfect poor man. It presents us with something much more disturbing: an indifferent rich man and an ignored poor man. The sin of the rich man was not what he …
“Whoever wants to be great among you, let him be your servant.” Mt. 20:17-28 Today Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem, to complete his mission, while his disciples think of positions, honors and privileges. The request of the mother of Zebedee’s children reveals a very human temptation: to confuse mission with power. In the …
“May the greatest among you be your servant.” Mt. 23:1-12 Today’s Gospel presents us with Jesus, speaking with clarity and courage, standing tall on the flatland, his words seek to awaken conscience, by denouncing a dangerous attitude: to say one thing and live another.
