![]() “Whoever has seen me,” Jesus declared, “has seen the Father.” ![]() Talking about the mystery of his relationship with the Father, a central theme in the Gospel of John, the Son explained that he came to reveal the Father, to do the Father’s works, and to give his disciples the ability to perform similar-even greater-works. Jesus himself established a basic foundation during his Last Supper discourse. Today’s readings help us appreciate this since they provide insights into the nature and purpose of the Church. However, since Jesus did found the Church-described by Saint Paul as the body of Christ (cf., 1 Cor 12:27 Eph 5:23 Col 1:24)-it behooves us to be both “into Jesus” and “into the Church.” There were several reasons for his attitude, including the faulty belief that since the Church is only an external institution (as he apparently perceived “the Church”), it can have little to do with inner, spiritual transformation. ![]() ![]() ![]() I once conversed with a young non-Catholic man who summed up this approach by saying, matter-of-factly: “I’m into Jesus, not the Church.” Perhaps you, like me, know people who express belief in Jesus, but have no interest in the Church. ![]()

Keir Gilchrist, Elizabeth Marvel & Tom Pelphrey Join ‘Love And Death’ HBO Max True-Crime Limited Series ![]() ![]() One of the best things about this first series was that the Darkling was such a complex and intriguing character. This is both a refreshing change from pseudo-medieval England and an encouragement for readers, myself included, to be a bit more curious about Russian culture. This trilogy covered her journey to becoming Sankta Alina, the Sun Saint, and saving Ravka from the supernatural darkness of the Fold, a phenomenon that long ago split the country in two and continues to claim countless lives.Īs the names imply, this fictional country was inspired by tsarist Russia.

I’d classify The Candy Shop War as definite middle grade, appropriate for ages 8+, but it’s lengthy. Who can they trust? And how can they stop her? And the school’s three worst bullies have replaced them as her errand runners. But by now nearly every adult in town is addicted to her behavior-modifying fudge. But the candy’s just so cool!Įventually, they learn the truth about the candy maker. White offers them magical candy that causes some awesome physical abilities, but the errands get weirder-robbing the museum, robbing a grave, wiping someone’s memory permanently. The kids befriend the owner of the town’s new sweet shop and do errands for free candy. Little do they know, all three skills would soon be put to use. Nate isn’t thrilled about moving to a new neighborhood, but he quickly makes friends with Summer, Trevor, and Pidgeon, who will all be starting fifth grade with him, and is accepted into their detective/treasure-hunting/trespassing club.
