“Jesus is amazed at the faith of this centurion. This represents the only time in Matthew’s Gospel that Jesus shows amazement. Later, others will be amazed at the miraculous works and words of Jesus, but here Jesus is amazed at such strong faith.” (Page 76)

“Remain in His Catholic Church under the shepherds He appoints, the pope and bishops in union with him” (Page 38)

“When Jesus enters Peter’s house, He recognizes that Peter’s mother-in-law is sick, but no one asks Him to heal her. Jesus sees her suffering, and His healing touch causes her fever to vanish. Restored to good health, she promptly resumes her role and the dignity of active service in the body of Christ.” (Page 76)

“Jesus insists that Christian discipleship must take precedence, even above family and other genuine concerns” (Page 76)

“Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua or Joshua, meaning ‘Savior,’ or ‘God saves” (Page 7)
