Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary

In our gospel this Sunday (John 6:35, 41-51) Jesus and the crowd cannot understand each other: they cannot see beyond Jesus’ earthly status (poor, illegitimate) to see the divine within him. Jesus calls us to a new way of seeing which will transform the way we see the world, one another and ourselves.

Eighth Sunday after Trinity

Last week the reading from Job explored the complexity of God’s creative energy: tearing down in order to build up, unmaking us so that we may be re-made. Similarly, this week’s text, from Lamentations 3:22-33, acknowledges that suffering and setbacks are not a sign that God is absent but that God is at work in our world.
