Matthew

I’m less inclined that some commentators are to condemn Peter.

Light is light. And only light can bring our fragmented darkness into proper perspective and allow us to see things whole.

At the center of Epiphany is a mystery of looking. Who looks at whom?

Isaiah gives us a vision of what the new anointed one will be like, what gifts he will have and how he will be someone run by Elsewhere—not by the criteria of groupthink, of lobbying groups. His criteria will give voice to the meek who have no voice and don’t know how to use a voice. His words will become the criteria for everything, much to the dismay of the wicked.
