Sister Miriam Ms. Nivison Mr. O ' Connell Ms. O ' Connell Mr. Puhl Ms. Sulfaro Ms. Buhl There once was a man named Jesus who, with a small group of followers, tried to make people think twice about their relig- ious values and about the Church with which they had become identified. Jesus spoke to many people, and the people were impressed by his kindness and strength and some people even said that Jesus could do extraordinary things. He challenged people to face the realities of their lives and the cruelties they were inflicting upon their neighbors. He even went so far as to attack the leaders of the people, accusing them of hypocrisy and legalism. He became increas- ingly more popular and people from radical political groups came to listen to him and some even followed him for many months so that they might learn the secret of this man ' s popularity and wisdom. Wherever he went, crowds gathered. Afterall, this cer- tainly was a good excuse to interrupt the routine of a dull day. He spoke of money problems and made many of them feel secure in their poverty. He spoke of hate and love and reminded them that it is in their own minds that such thoughts origi- nate. And as his followers increased, so did his enemies. Power must seek to maintain it- self. If it does not, it will quickly fall vulner- able to another power. Power must prove its strength. Whether the power be kindness or hate, money or poverty, sin or grace, it must struggle to retain its superiority. Thus the power of Jesus died.
