Death is with us‚ it follows us‚ and it obsesses us. It is our eternal companion and we cannot escape from it‚ not only because it will come to us sooner or later‚ but also because of all of the people we see dying every day.

of the Gospel Mark which we already studied in class. Matthew portrays Jesus very differently than Mark did. It starts off with how we learn about Jesus. In Mark’s Gospel‚ we first learn about Jesus with his baptism. However‚ with Matthew we start with the birth of Jesus.
