Readings for Today
It’s the practice of the TV networks after a professional game, whether it be the Patriots or the Red Sox, to have an after game show that reviews all the things that took place. While it’s significant here in New England, it doesn’t compare at all to the Washington area, where I lived for many years. The Redskins would play on Sunday, and then the lead story on the news for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday would be the game and what happened. The only reason they stopped talking about it was because Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the story would be the next game.
Well, the Church does something similar in that we spend forty days preparing for Easter, and then we take fifty days to celebrate it. We tell the story over and over again. It really is good news we hear over and over again. Today in the Gospel, we just heard that “everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I will raise that person on the last day.” That really is the good news that we need to ponder, over and over again.
