Gospel's Commentary
Today we have another unintelligent question, this time from the Pharisees. It is the typical question of human curiosity forgetting the essential. The important is not "when" but "what is". Among other things, because the Kingdom of Heaven is already initiated among us, discreetly, silently: the Church, the sacraments, the Word of God, the faithful ... Isn't that enough? If Jesus hadn’t come ...
- Jesus has come and brought us what’s fundamental: God. So, what about wars? hunger? injustices? That happens because God has come and we haven’t followed him!
