Episode notes
Friendship With Christ As Goal
- The culmination of the Christian life is friendship with Jesus, moving beyond servant or disciple to friend.
- Bishop Robert Barron makes deep friendship with Christ the organizing aim of his ministry in the diocese.
Mary And Martha Contrast
- Mary sits at Jesus' feet and embodies the 'find the centre' spiritual path rooted in attentive listening.
- Martha initially misses that centre as she busies herself with hospitality but learns and later confesses faith strongly.
Healed People Evangelize Best
- Lazarus exemplifies evangelization: one healed by Christ becomes a source of belief for others.
- Barron argues that those whom Jesus has liberated evangelize most powerfully by witness, not just argument.
