9/24/2020 Soul Weary?

Homily for the twenty-fifth Thursday of Ordinary Times.
It is hard to understand Jesus if you compare him to something old, like Elijah or John the Baptist. You have to create a new category to even think about him. He thinks unitively, not dualistically. Even after being shamed and publicly murdered, all Jesus does is come back and say, “Peace be with you;” and good to see you again. We are invited to drink deep. Breathe in the spirit, and that kind of presence of Christ in the world makes even the most unlikely people sit up and take notice. Say, “What is this?” This looks like something new.
Gospel Luke 9:7-9
