Hamm, SJ
Every parent wants to instill in a toddler a healthy fear of fire, deep water, and automobile traffic. Not to respect the danger of such things is to be dangerously out of touch.
John Kavanaugh, SJ
Jesus advises us not to fear the things or people who can harm the body. God attends to the needs of the sparrow, knowing every one that drops to the ground. As for us, every hair on our head is counted. We are not to worry.
John J. Pilch
Jesus teaches that honor bestowed by God is far superior to that which humans give. Do good deeds to win honor from God rather than from human beings!
Many members have that one grain, all united by bonds of peace and charity under their one head, our Savior himself, and, as you know from having heard it so often, all of them form one single body.
Reginald H. Fuller
Adam, as it were, opened the door to sin and death; ever since, sin and death have been prowling around, and all persons have fallen under their clutches because they have succumbed to sin.
