Mary Magdalene Goes to the Synod
Synod on Synodality
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Today we invite you to explore the reality of ecological martyrdom, on this Earth Day; engage the Christian lineage of ecomartyrs with the help of Saint Óscar Romero and the Latin American bishops of Medellín; and embody solidarity with these martyrs through the example of Berta Cáceres and the artwork of Alexander Serpas.
The Just Word This Week
Inclusive. Life-giving. Liberating.
The Just Word Commentary is a three-year project, providing life-giving, liberatory commentaries on the Catholic lectionary readings for all three years the Church has provided them (Designated Year A, Year B, and Year C). The new yearly cycle begins on the first Sunday of Advent. Right now, we are headed into Year B of the cycle, which takes its gospel readings from the book of Mark. Year A uses the book of Matthew, and Year C uses the book of Luke.
As we transition out of Year A into Year B, we want to give a huge thank you to our Year A writers for their deep thoughts and feelings. It’s not an easy thing to write from a Catholic perspective that often stands with those that the Church itself does not.
We’re so excited for our upcoming year of commentaries we have lined up, and we hope you’ll join us once again. We’d love to connect with you! Let us know your favorite entry so far or something you would love to see in Year B ahead!
