His unforgettable gestures of healing (Bishop Robert Barron)


   It is Christ – in his uncompromising call to repentance, his unforgettable gestures of healing, his unique and disturbing praxis of forgiveness, his provocative nonviolence, and especially his movement from godforsaken death to shalom-radiating Resurrection – that moves the believer to change of life and gift of self.

 --Bishop Robert Barron, Gospel Reflection, July 6, 2020
