There is something particularly moving and engaging about an ordinary person who wants to read and preach the word of God—and it’s not “business as usual.”
John J. Pilch
Jesus’ words and deeds in this Gospel speak love at every turn. He demonstrates absolute, total, and universal love in his varied responses to those who approach him.
In the place we are making, the Lord will be everyone’s light; the true light which enlightens every human person will shine upon all.

Luke informs us that the community had set up a daily distribution (of food?) to take care of the needy among them, especially widows.
Reginald H. Fuller
Christians, as living stones, are joined together by Christ, who is the cornerstone.
