I often struggle to understand what Jesus was talking about. His parables confuse me. Thank Heaven there are scholars who have studied and can explain a lot of what I miss. Yet there are still parts that I miss. Come Holy Spirit and inflame my heart (and brain) with Your love and understanding.

Mark,
Thanks for the reflection. I, too, am glad to be living at this time with two millenia of others thoughts, insights and reflections on Jesus’ life and words to lean on to deepen my relationship with God. I’m sure many people of this age look back at the Jews, apostles, disciples and say ” how could they not get it?” But, even as a cradle Catholic, I sometimes do not seem to “get it” and miss or ignore a message God is sending me. Thanks be to God for His persistent pursuit of me.
Peace
P.S. Prayers for Analise.

Thanks Mark, nice reflection.
My uncle was a missionary priest in New Guinea in the 1950’s – 1960’s.
We also know a couple (along with 3 daughter) and a couple other families who are still spreading the Good word, and helping tribes to get bibles translated into their native language – They are not catholic but they are Christians.
That might be the “ends of the earth” you speak of ???
God Bless you and keep you Analise.
And you too Mark.
