The Challenge of the Gospel

Reflections on the Sunday Gospels, Cycle A

by: Joseph A. Slattery

The Gospels call us to pattern our lives after that of Jeasus and, by bringing God's love to the world, to transform it into His Kingdom. The challenge of the Gospels is to resist the temptation to do evil and to employ all our energies in doing good, to take up our cross each day and follow Jesus. Each Sunday one or another aspect of that challenge is placed before us in these brief reflections on the Gospels for Cycle A of the liturgical readings.
