We are here because of our unique history. And change, no matter how remote, alters everything. If our parents had not come together, we would not be.
You may recall Pope Francis’ statement a couple of years ago concerning God’s love.
Jesus spoke of the potential of the tiny mustard seed: “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to [this] mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you” (Lk 17:6).
One of the most striking aspects of the gospel accounts is the role of Jesus’ life and his ministry. Of course, we are aware of the unique role of Mary, Jesus’ mother, in giving birth to the savior of the world. From the very beginning of our Christian tradition, Mary is the pre-eminent person in Jesus’ life, and she is the supreme example of what a disciple, a true believer, should be. But the gospel is full of others who, though lesser in stature, still played important roles in New Testament accounts.
One of the most common questions people have about the end of the world is, simply, “What will happen in the future?”
Are we not truly blessed to know, deep in our hearts, what is truly important in our lives?
Thanks to the Gospels, we know who Jesus’ disciples were.
