Friends, in my evangelical work online, I often encounter people who are skeptical of religion and dismissive of its claims. I usually ask them: How do we explain the intelligibility of the world or our ability to understand it? How about objective values and our ability to recognize them? Our first reading from 1 Kings reflects, I think, a great breakthrough in Western consciousness about how we’re able to identify right and wrong—just as we’re able to identify patterns in the physical world.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a
Psalm — Psalm 85:9, 10, 11-12, 13-14
Reading 2 — Romans 9:1-5
Gospel — Matthew 14:22-33
