to consider our own relationship with Christ. As he imaginatively retells the well-known
stories from the Gospels, he
revivifies them and makes them present to us, deepening our understanding of the calling we have received from Jesus and strengthening our confidence
that the Lord will, indeed, bring to completion the
work of love He has begun in us.

• What caused the clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church?
• Was there a “cover up”?

• Can there be a genuine dialogue with Islam?
• Should the Church rethink Catholic teaching
on priestly celibacy, women priests, contraception, and same-sex relationships?
