Theologians' Corner

Theologians' Corner - On this feast of Corpus Christi, I find myself trusting in this quiet truth: that even in a world where there is not always enough, love shared becomes a different kind of abundance.

Theologians' Corner - This Sunday liturgy invites us to believe that God is not a solitary patriarch on a throne but a living, loving and active Trinitarian relationship.

Theologians' Corner - God does not wait for us to have everything figured out. Instead, he gives us his Spirit in the middle of our confusion. A question remains — where in your life are you still "behind closed doors"?

Theologians' Corner - We have imagined the Ascension as a vertical liftoff event: Jesus goes up, and we stay behind. This vision reinforces a dangerous dualism: the sacred vs. the profane, heaven vs. earth, God vs. humanity.

The Ascension is not an invitation to remain still waiting for direction from above. It is a commission to move outward into the world as it is: fractured, beautiful and full of God's hidden presence.

We talk about joy as the core of the Easter story of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. As Christians, we are meant to be an Easter people — a people marked by joy.

To mark Pope Leo XIV's first year, Theologians' Corner convenes four sister theologians from around the world to reflect on his efforts to address abuse, strengthen accountability, and advance reform in the church.

The Father's will is clearly expressed in the way Jesus lived and acted. The call is to live as he lived and to do the works he did.
