Gospel Summary "In the mind of Jesus, there is no bypassing humanness, either his own humanity or the humanity of the Church. Today's gospel reveals an important moment in the coming-to-be of the Church, a very human, structured society that Jesus intended even during his earthly ministry. Through this society, aptly called his own Body, he would continue his mission in history, not merely for elite spirituals, but for the whole crowd of people pressing in on him."
