Human beings are complex beings, to say the least! Somehow, we know this from experience. The scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with his apostles gives us a vivid picture of it as well (Jean 13:1-15). Especially the dialogue between Jesus and Peter. It starts silently as Jesus comes […]
Peter, the apostle, shares his life experience…

19th Sunday of the Year A
The theme of last Sunday (Feast of the Transfiguration, Year A) is back again: “Do not be afraid…” Yet, the situation described in today’s gospel (19th Sunday of Year A – Mt.14:22-33) is quite frightening! A storm on the lake and the apparition of… a mysterious being walking on the […]
