I drew this cartoon, Jesus and His Followers, to illustrate the idea of a quote attributed to Gandhi: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” It even shows Jesus himself struggling to break free from them.

Oct 16 Scripture The last three days we heard Jesus speak harshly to the religious leaders for their hypocrisy. But in today's gospel (Lk 12:1-7), his tone is different. To his disciples, friends, and ordinary people, he spoke caringly, kindly, tenderly. He truly is a God of the humble and the poor.
