Jesus, A Disciples Search by Fr. Murray Bodo, OFM

“I needed a voice to match the voice of my own searching, and that was the voice I heard vibrating in Nathanael’s words, ‘Can anything good come from Nazareth?’… And so I huddled beneath an imaginary fig tree near the Sea of Galilee, which I have never seen… I became Nathanael beneath his tree, and he became me and all of us who cannot see Jesus but want to so intensely.” –Murray Bodo
