Sunday Reflections
Reflections shared in our Sunday newsletter
Gehenna and the Catholic teaching on Hell
Jesus frequently used physical realities to explain and transmit spiritual realities. Jesus compared heaven to a kingdom, a pasture, and a wedding feast. The physical image that Jesus repeatedly uses to describe the alternative to heaven is ‘Gehenna’.
The Son of Man and the Kingdom of God
According to the gospels, the title that Jesus most frequently used to describe Himself was “the Son of Man”. Jesus took the title “Son of Man” from truly amazing prophecies in the Old Testament book of Daniel.
Take up your Cross
Following Jesus means bravely taking up our cross: “If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. When circumstances cause the loss of some good thing, we can choose to give that good thing back to the Father who gave it to us as an expression of our love for Him. We have the power, in union with Jesus, to make what is taken from us – by life, events, or other people – into an offering of love.
