Sacred Prayer

Jesus had traveled with his disciples to Jerusalem for the Passover, but he is faced with a veritable marketplace inside the Temple. He reacts in anger, but his actions carry the same message: turn your lives around. Jesus is not condemning commerce here. What he is condemning is mixing up commerce and prayer.

Holding Grudges

Pope Francis reminds us that prayer is the best way to overcome blind spots in our attitudes toward others. He doesn’t say it will be easy. But neither does he let us off the hook.

Cast the First Stone

Jesus said: “Let the one among you who is without sin throw the first stone.” Here he does not deny the Law, but he challenges those around him to understand that the punishment is to be to be meted out only by the sinless. Each man recognizes it is not his place — only God’s — to judge.
