Sunday/Capernaum
Today's gospel describes Christ in Capernaum after recruiting Peter and the other fishermen. He goes to Peter's house and cures his mother-in-law of a fever in a most low-key event. While outside the townspeople gather, having heard of his miracles in the synagogue.
It is hard to understand that this ancient town, a base for Christ, has not survived in some form. It has been excavated, of course, and two synagogues recovered and a modest house turned into a church, the rumored "Peter's House." What should we make of this, if anything?
A place frequented by the being the Christians say is the Son of God has been lost to time.
