ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Jesus gives us the teaching of priestly celibacy as foretold in Isaiah, those who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. So marriage and holy orders are know as the sacraments of social order. Jesus then refers to the children who he wishes to allow the Apostles to come to Him. Who brought the children to Jesus? We look ahead to Acts 8 and 10 and see that "the whole household" was baptised. Under the covenant with Abraham, male children were circumcised on the eighth day after birth. If such is so, why would God incarnate not wish the little ones to not be baptised into the new and everlasting covenant?

What is a talent as Matthew relates it here? What is a denarius? How then does 10,000 talents relate to 100 denarii? What does this mean for us who wish to be in the kingdom of heaven? We look to St. John Chrysostom and Origen to gain some insight as well as doing a bit of accounting math in orde…
Chapter 21 of Exodus begins with the laws regulating slavery. Unfortunately, many have suggested that this demonstrates that God endorses slavery. However, we must look at the Scriptures in their entirety, and how God moves His people to grow in justice, love and mercy. It is not God who changes, …
