Friday

(cf. Matthew 13:54-58) “Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, ‘Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter’s son?’ . . . And they took offense at him.” Sometimes it is not the scholar but the simple who best speak God’s truth. Let us be open to who might be God’s chosen messenger to us today.
