I like how you widen the lens for me to think about the gospel readings. I think I do the same as you are warning against – I think I know the reading so don’t actually “read” it closely nor look at the bigger picture.
You and me both, Ann. One benefit I am gaining from doing this weekly podcast is that it forces me to read the text much more closely, and my own preaching is improving markedly, or so I am told.
Warm regards, Howard
