On this 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus teaches us about the Kingdom of God through two parabolic images. And the Divine Vision Jesus reveals to us through these images is grand indeed. For, as Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, the Kingdom of God is not a matter of belonging to this group or that, but encompasses the entire cosmos and every single creature therein.

This weekend Jesus teaches us what it means to live as members of the Family of God. A first glance of this Sunday's Gospel seems as though Jesus teaches us this at the expense of His Mother, Mary. However, as Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, a careful reading shows how, in fact, Jesus points right at Mary as an example of what it means to live as part of the Family of God.

This weekend the Church celebrates the great Solemnity of Corpus Christ, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The ongoing Eucharistic Revival has emphasized the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, as it should. However, as Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, this teaching will fall on deaf ears if we do not live the Eucharist we receive. Said differently, the world will believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist if we allow the Eucharist to transform us into the Real Presence of Christ in the world. To so live is both our duty and our salvation.

This Sunday we celebrate the Mystery that Is Our God. As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, the way we can know this Mystery most deeply and intimately is by experiencing It. This is where the sacraments of the Church come in. Baptism first gives us a share in the Triune Life of Love while the Eucharist enables us to experience this Love most profoundly and grow in It, this side of eternity.

As we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost, we also celebrate God's ongoing work of salvation in history through the Church, the sacrament of salvation in the world. As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, apart from the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit within Her, the Church would have no ability to make the saving love of Christ present to the world. But wherever Her members harmoniously cooperate with the Spirit's action within, God renews the face of the earth through the day to day life of the Church, the Body of Christ.

As we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord's Ascension, we are reminded that Jesus' ascent into Heaven is something that we are all meant to experience, and not just at the end of our lives or at the end of time. Rather, as Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, we begin participating in the Ascension of Jesus Christ here and now as members of His Body, the Church.

On this 6th Sunday of Easter, Jesus commands us to do something that seems impossible, to love as God loves. As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, such a command would indeed be impossible to live out and therefore futile for God to give us, had God not given us a share in the Love that He Is from all eternity, through the Paschal Mystery of the Incarnate Son.

On this 5th Sunday of Easter, we are once again presented with one of the "I Am" statements of Jesus, this time "I am the true vine." As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, like the image of the Good Shepherd explored last weekend, the image of the vine teaches us something about Who Jesus Is and our relationship to Him. This time, the message is has to do with the nature of the Church.

The Fourth Sunday of Easter is known as Good Shepherd Sunday, for regardless of liturgical cycle, our Gospel reveals Jesus as the Good Shepherd. As Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, in our own time and place, the image of the Good Shepherd can be misused to distort our understanding of Who Jesus Is. But a careful examination of our Gospel for this Sunday demonstrates how by using the image of the Good Shepherd to describe Himself, Jesus reveals Himself precisely as the Incarnate Son of God Who defeats the human family's enemies of sin and death.

Having celebrated the Feast of Divine Mercy on the 2nd Sunday of Easter, on the 3rd Sunday we are reminded that Divine Mercy continues to act down to the present day. As Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, God's Mercy is present and active in our world through the Church and its members, who Jesus entrusts with carrying on His mission through history. Concretely, this looks like living out the corporeal and spiritual works of mercy.
