10/21/2020 Distinct Persons but not Separate
/
Homily for the twenty-ninth Wednesday of Ordinary Times.
Jesus asks, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Jesus identifies as us and whoever we think is not us. After 2,000 years, our human psyche still struggles with the idea of a nonviolent God. We are distinct persons but not separate. As soon as we have chosen separation rather than distinctiveness, the easy next step is judging. Separation dissolves in the presence of love.
Gospel Luke 12:39-48
