In the Gospels today, Jesus gives us a kind of Rorschach test. We can look at this word picture and see the unfairness of God, or His generosity to all his children. Likewise, we can see our own lives the same way as a struggle, or as a Joy. Jesus is inviting us into the joy of life’s struggles, by the miracle of discipleship.

Wow, today’s readings suggest that I can be held responsible for another person’s sin if I don’t speak up. That is because love calls us to help everyone become a better person and sin prevents that. The purpose of our lives is to become the best version of ourselves, And a true friend, or a true brother or sister in Christ, lovingly helps others do the same.

The Power of One Person: For Good or Evil (Mt 10:26-33)
Sunday Jun 25, 2023
Sunday Jun 25, 2023
Saint Paul tells us that through one person, sin entered the world, and that sin spread until all had sinned. If one person can have such power in a negative way, one person doing good can also have great power. Jesus Christ is of course, that one person, but we too are that one person as He is asking us now to stand by him and his mission, so that at our judgment, he may stand by us and present us to the Father.
