Video – Fr. Bonaventure – Homily: Christ and the Crowd

Ave Maria!

Why did Christ depart from the crowds when they thronged to Him, especially when they insisted on making Him king? Was He not hung on a tree for being King of the Jews, and didn't He even plead guilty to the charge? As Fr. Bonaventure explains, Christ's withdrawals during His ministry were a means of testing those of good will, of seeing if the Israelite in the crowd was a true seeker of Truth or merely interested in the novelty of the carpenter's preaching and in having his ears tickled.

Who is the true follower of Christ? Is he a fair-weather chum in the morning and a turncoat in the evening? Listen now to this brief but authoritative homily from Fr. Bonaventure Maria.

Ave Maria
