“Gospel: Jesus is critiqued for eating with 'sinners and tax collectors,' as well as forgiving sins, speaking with women and healing the sick on the Sabbath. But for Jesus nothing should get in the way of proclaiming the Good News--which is the proclamation God's love for everyone.”Tagged: gospel, jesus, religiosity, God Cares, God loves you
“When Jesus calls the twelve apostles, he does so as a sign of the 'gathering' of Israel, and because we're meant to join together in worship and ministry. But Jesus doesn't call a faceless mass; he calls each by name, just as he calls you, with all your gifts and talents.”Tagged: gospel, spiritual enlightenment, God Cares, Jesus cares, God loves you
“Gospel: As the liturgical year comes to a close, Jesus speaks about the end times. Today he asks us to be faithful until the end, when we will be judged. God is a God of mercy, but also of judgment. A God who didn't judge would be a God who didn't care. And God cares what we do.”Tagged: God, God Cares, Faithfulness, Faithfulness to God
