Whenever we go to church (Fr. Ron Rolheiser)


    On the night before he died, Jesus sat down with his disciples and what he found there was what we too find whenever we go to church: a sincere bunch of people struggling not to let the jealousies, irritations, self-preoccupations, and wounds of life drive them apart. We come to church and to the Eucharist to ask God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves: love each other.
