Fr. Qui-Thac's Weekly Reflection

The Gospel this weekend is a continuation of last week when Jesus taught in the synagogue and proclaimed that the hopes of the people expressed in Isaiah are being fulfilled in Jesus himself. This dramatic, hopeful, and beautiful event ends in disaster: Jesus is in danger of the people throwing him over a cliff! What’s going on? This is simply ridiculous. At the beginning of the Gospel passage, all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth, but by the end, when the people in the synagogue heard this (Jesus’ teachings), they were all filled with fury. This radical change seems impossible. Nevertheless, there are a few relationships in our lives that have followed this pattern including, but not limited to these: friendships we made in grade school, high school, and college, relationships as a young adult, even spousal relationships. Have we ever wondered what went wrong? Have we learned the lessons that are meant to be learned through them? Are we repeating them in our present relationship?
