October 27, 2010 – Catechism 561-570

These brief sections are a little bit difficult to write about because I have already reflected on the more detailed sections.  But I was struck by the notion that everything Jesus did and didn’t do had meeting.  P. 561 talks about His continual teaching even through His silences.  I don’t know if I have ever thought about that.  Do we ever think about what we say when we don’t say anything.  Isn’t it something like 90% of our communication is non-verbal.  We aren’t in the middle of a gospel right now, but the next time we read or reflect on the Gospels think about Jesus actions and silence.  What does He say when He doesn’t speak.  This might be a new way to look at something we may think we have read and reread a hundred times.
