Mt. 12:14-21

The Pharisees are troubled by Jesus’ words and actions. He has to be eliminated.

Jesus responds by laying low. He doesn’t want publicity. He prefers to be the quiet servant of the Lord that Isaiah foretold.

This servant of the Lord will not make a great fuss, or demand attention, or undo every wrong he comes upon. Rather, he will be an agent of the Spirit of God, meek and gentle in the face of hostility. He is concerned with kindness more than with victory. He will extend the loving justice of God--even to the Gentiles.

This kind and loving and quiet Jesus is the Jesus who reaches out to us, who wants to bless us with His kindness. How do I respond?

Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk, the eighth ordinary of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, is a nationally prominent churchman, educator and author of popular books about Catholic themes.

In addition to a doctorate in sacred theology from Pontifical Urban University (1961), Archbishop Pilarczyk holds an M.A. in classics from Xavier University in Cincinnati (1965) and a Ph.D. in classics from the University of Cincinnati (1969).

Archbishop Pilarczyk has written more than a dozen popular books and many pamphlets and articles. His best selling book is Twelve Tough Issues – And More. His most recent are When God Speaks and Live Letters.
