The gospel for today liturgy is very short: two verses. In these two verses, however, is the remarkable example of what Jesus endured from even those very close to him when he spoke out, when he taught. They thought he was crazy.
What an appropriate read for the beginning of one of the major Catholic weekends in the city of Washington: the Pro-Life Weekend leading up to the March for Life on Monday. How many times have you hear folks speak up in opposition to the Supreme Court decision in the Roe v. Wade case that permits abortion in our land?
Even those who personally may be opposed to the reality of abortion may find it difficult at times to speak up lest they be thought crazy. Is it so bad being put in the same category as Jesus Christ?
