Hamm, SJ
Those who are acquainted with the longer history of Catholic/
Protestant debate are aware that the relationship of works to faith has not always been a simple matter.
John Kavanaugh, SJ
When we have “compassion-fatigue” before the sea of human suffering, when it seems we are not even up to believing in Christ anyway, it is good for us to remember the struggle of poor old Peter.
John J. Pilch
Jesus' teaching and healing activities and other behavior deviated from what his culture might expect from someone of his origins.
If we seek more material goods than we need and desire to become rich, we may fall prey to temptation. The devil may trick us into wanting the many useless and harmful things that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Reginald H. Fuller
Jesus’ passion was the outcome of his obedient delivery of the message of the kingdom despite his people’s rejection.
