FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER — Year B

*Alternate* Second Reading: From The Naked Way by Richard Rohr

With dualistic minds it is always one or the other — it can never be both. The result is that we still think of ourselves as mere humans trying desperately to become “spiritual,” when the Christian revelation was precisely that we are already spiritual (“in God”), and our difficult but necessary task is to learn how to become human. Jesus came to model the full integration for us. He told us, in effect, that Divinity looked just like him — while he looked ordinarily human to everyone … It is in our humanity that we are still so wounded, so needy, so unloving, so self-hating, and so in need of enlightenment.

The words of Richard Rohr.
