Real Or Fake?

The question I raised in today’s homily was - whom actually am I following as a Christian? Do I follow Jesus of Nazareth, a real one from the Gospel, Son of God; true Jesus as He presents himself to us? Or do I follow Jesus created by my expectations, shaped by the father of the lie, nature of this world and people’s criteria which tell me what kind of leader, messiah, savior our acceptable Jesus should be? Let me explain...

 

Schizofrenia

A Sunday with two names and two Gospels. Palm Sunday / Passion Sunday. Same crowd, same mouth. Two contradicting messages. 'Hosanna, Son of David!'...then 'Crucify Him!' A valid lesson of ongoing and thriving spiritual, moral and social opportunistic schizophrenia in our lives as followers of Christ. Shame on us.
