The season of Easter is over but the commission of evangelization continues on as we live out the Paschal Mystery (dying and rising). We return to Ordinary Time – although nothing is ordinary anymore. We see and experience the pandemic and its fallout; demonstrations and rioting in our cities stuns us; Pentecost Sunday the Archbishop’s announcement challenges us to go deeper in our understanding of the Church and its role in today’s society. In all of this we are invited to look for and see the big picture of the public life and ministry of Christ given to us by the evangelist rather than seeing only one aspect of His life (birth, suffering, death and resurrection). We will use the Gospel of Matthew to guide us, and we will follow.
