Mass Journal: Week 10
Sunday, 1 March 2015
Before Christmas last year, I saw a Jewish scholar interviewed on television. The topic of discussion was the influence Jesus has exerted on human history. In summary, the scholar concluded, "The impact this man has had on human history is undeniable. Because of this man we call Jesus, the world will never again be the same. Because of Jesus, men & women will never think the same. Regardless of whether or not we believe [H]e was the Son of God, because of this man who walked the earth two thousand years ago, men & women will never live the same, will never be the same."Commentary: A word of clarification: Though I write in my DynamicCatholic.com-supplied Mass journal whenever the Spirit moves me, the words I have been quoting under the "Mass Journal" title are not my own, nor was it even my intention to misrepresent them as such. These are the weekly reflections published in the Mass journal by the folks at Matthew Kelly's Dynamic Catholic organization. I, your humble narrator, am sorry for any confusion.
