Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.

The parable of the wicked tenants challenges us to see in it more than the Passion, but of the actions we treat as inevitable.

Rejection is a prime example of something we hate experience and seem to love doing to others. Even when we don’t want to.
-
The confrontations in the Temple continue. And understanding how they got there, and how that makes us feel, is essential.
