More  than  a  Marketplace

In Jerusalem, Jesus visits the Temple, the “house of his Father.”  People have changed it into a place of commerce. Money brings power that can end in the exploitation of those who are in any way weaker.

Advertisers play on our weakness and get us to buy.

 

Jesus speaks of the “sanctuary of his body.” He is revealing something totally new. Now his body is the new Temple, the place of holiness where God dwells. God is no longer far off in the heavens (as the Temple symbolizes). He is a fellow pilgrim, with all the vulnerability of a human being.

 

Today we seem to have lost a sense of the role and place of our bodies, and are not aware of the sacred space within us; the place of inner peace where God dwells and from which our love of others flows.
