Carmelite homily for Saturday, March 28, 2020 – Lectionary 249 (John 7:40-53)
This is a great week for Gospel passages. Now we everybody upset because of authority. Who has the authority here? Who is in control here? Who has the power here? That’s what we see in today’s Gospel passage. John of the Cross may have a different way. He writes, “The soul that journeys to God without shaking off its cares or quieting its appetites is like the one who drags a cart uphill.” If your life is an uphill drag maybe a different solution?
