Contemplation in Action

Through our belief in Jesus, we have the power to heal other people’s lives, just by our presence in theirs. We are called to be healers. We receive our strength, not from ourselves, but from God. On this Christ the King Sunday, our scriptures are clear about the “immeasurable greatness of [God’s] power for us who believe.” As we complete another turning of the wheel of liturgical time, may we renew our commitment to be grounded in this power to seek Christ in all persons and love our neighbor as ourselves, even though we may look foolish to the world for loving so lavishly, and we may fail. With God’s help, we can also, thankfully, begin again. … More Contemplation in Action

For All the Saints

We carry on Jesus’ mission of transforming the world by spreading the kingdom of God in our daily lives. Many times, we carry on the vision of those saints who have gone before us, and we make it our own so it will continue to be carried into the future. We honor God, we honor each other, and we honor the lives of those who came before us when we live out the Christian mission. … More For All the Saints

The Law of Love

For this Love is the most powerful force in the world. Love that conquered death, rolled back the stone of oppression, injustice, and violence to bring us to new life and new hope in our risen, living Savior. Love that knocks at the doors of our hearts and asks to be allowed in. Love that is based on real peace and abundance for all. Love that calls us to act to heal our world in place of the violence that continues to wound it. Let’s step forward in faith and hope, seeking to embody the only law that matters– the Law of Love. … More The Law of Love
