Jesus’ teaching about the kingdom of heaven does not replace the Jewish tradition; it interprets it in a different light.

To judge and uproot the “weeds” prematurely will harm the wheat; final judgment rests with God.

Those who are willing to engage themselves in the effort to understand will be rewarded by the discovery of the message and will bear fruit.

Jesus’ way of holiness is presented as uncomplicated and even restful.

To welcome another in Jesus’ name is to extend hospitality to Jesus himself.

Sometimes we let the opinions of others prevent us from doing what we know to be right. We need the reminder that what God thinks about us is more important.

As Jesus sent his disciples to continue his work and mission, so too the Church is sent by Jesus.

When we share in the Body and Blood of Christ, Jesus himself comes to dwell within us.

God’s love for us calls us to respond in faith by professing our belief in God’s son, Jesus, and the salvation that he has won for us.

In situations of conflict, we are to be agents of peace and harmony among people.
