Christians who continue Christ’s mission make the divine presence felt in even the most hostile of places.

The disciples’ mission is now ours, and Christ is ready to share with us the same power he gave them.

In Luke’s mind, the Spirit that had once dwelt in the Temple had now taken up residence among Christ’s disciples.

One might have expected a statement of disappointment or regret. Instead, Jesus speaks to his disciples of love.

As the first disciples trusted in the Advocate, they found a love that gave peace to their hearts.

This Sunday’s Gospel calls us to create that quiet place in the midst of the world’s distractions,

The Twelve were servants of Jesus’ mission. Now, after the resurrection, they have become Jesus’ friends.

Vengeance, retribution and pitiless justice only amplify the power of sin.

We are like the angel messengers at the tomb: to interpret the signs of Christ’s presence and activity.

Do you treat God’s law as a tool for conversion or for retribution?

How can you emulate Jesus’ unwavering obedience to God?

In this parable, Luke presents a complex study of the interplay of freedom, duty and love.

Good things happen to bad people because God hopes for their transformation.

Jesus overcame temptations to use divine grace for himself, so Christians must continue to seek God’s purpose in every gift they receive.

The transfiguration requires us to let go of our masks and let others catch a glimpse of God in us.

Living the Gospel makes us like the Father; this is what it means to be a child of God.

It is not enough for disciples to believe; their behavior must reveal God as the model for every deed.

Poverty, hunger, grief and exclusion are not signs of the absence of God’s love.

Divine salvation advances because unlikely characters say yes to grace.

Luke warns us: Deeper understanding of the Gospel can be disruptive.
