Meeting In June

We had a meeting on 24/06/2007..where we explored the mystery of Nazareth, it is very important to understand the contexts , both historical and geographical in which Jesus lived and grew. This is important ot ony to understand Jesus, but also to understand the mystery of incornation....

What is Mystery ?.. It is a real paradox , for some it is liberating for others it is contradiction , a cause and a sign of the rising and falling of many people (Lk 2:34) .

How do we respond in these expereinces ?? How did Jesus respond to the mystery of Nazareth. Why did Jesus choose the periphery and not the centre.?? Why did Jesus choose powerless and not the structure of power??

Where do I stand ? in Jerusalem or in Galilia ? In the centre or at the periphery ? With the powerless or with powerfull.??
