About this episode

Br. Curtis Almquist discusses the mystery of the future and the significance of Jesus' silence and secrecy as an expression of love.

Our own future is shrouded in some mystery. We bank our faith in Jesus – God Emmanuel, God with us – that when and how we face what awaits us, we will find the power of Jesus’ resurrection in the here-and-now. On the feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist, Br. Curtis Almquist sees Jesus' frequent insistence on silence and secrecy as an expression of love for his followers.
