Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for May 17:

What will I do this week to give witness to Christ in me and my neighbor?

How often have we wished that Jesus would come down from heaven and do something about the terrible things going on in the world today? Such a thought fundamentally misunderstands two lessons from today’s readings. First of all, Jesus is already with us. As he promised his disciples, he is with us always, only not in the flesh any longer. Secondly, solving all the world’s problems is not why Jesus came in the first place. He did not solve all the world’s problems in 30 AD either. He did not bring peace between nations or harmony between peoples. He did not bring miracle cures that could wipe out diseases or disabilities. He did not bring prosperity and happiness to the whole world. No, he joined us in our human condition to

share our suffering, redeem us from our sins, and lead us to eternal life with God. What he accomplished transcends the

problems of every age, no matter how serious they are. It is now up to us, with the Lord’s help, to do what we can to solve the world’s problems, if only a little at a time.
