Today’s Gospel text goes to the heart of just what Jesus is afraid of seeing develop among his disciples: marveling at signs and wonders and through paying attention only to them, missing the centerpiece of Jesus’ real message. That message is simple: you will only appreciate what God is offering in Jesus if you appreciate that he is inviting his followers to surrender to God in the heart of suffering. Jesus’ message is good news for those enmeshed in tragedy.

About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica.
