Today we encounter Jesus’ teaching on prayer, which is more radical, challenging and life changing than we may at first realize because it encourages an approach or attitude to prayer, which we might not share or even appreciate. The Lord Jesus positively and unambiguously encourages a bold, confident, even brazen attitude towards approaching God in

Luke, in a story unique to his Gospel, gives an account of a remarkable and beautiful incident in Jesus’ life. Mary of Magdalene is traditionally associated with the Mary before us today but scholars think that it is unlikely to be the same person, believing this woman to be Mary of Bethany. What is clear

What could be more heartbreaking than to witness the tears of a mother (a widow) mourning the loss of her only son! Luke does not make specific reference to her weeping but we can be assured that it was the grief of the widow (and how else is grief expressed if not through tears?) that
