In his Gospel reflection for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Tony Crescio ( ⁨@anthonycrescio⁩ ) discusses the two examples Jesus sets before us in His parable this weekend, the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

On this 3rd Sunday of Easter, we are invited to witness an intimate conversation between the Resurrected Christ and Peter, the Apostle. As Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explains, this exchange teaches us that conversion always simultaneously coincides with a call to mission, and that it is by faithfully living out the mission God calls each of us to that we become the singular image of God we have each been created to be.Music by Bjorn Lynne Check us out at freshimage.org and become a subscriber to receive updates directly to your inbox.
