Hope isn’t wishing: it’s trust in what is unseen but already at work. Christ comes not in the clouds, but in ordinary life, in acts of love that quietly change the world.
Christ “rules” over all Creation not in domination but in compassion. We are baptized into Christ, into God’s entry into human suffering, bringing grace and new life.
Jesus encourages us to stay faithful to the love we’re received even in the face of hatred and anger. Rooted in God’s grace we can be at peace and serve as a witness for justice even amidst chaos and violence.
I am not “my own person.” I belong to God. I am God’s valuable coin, to be spent as God desires. This sounds like obedience, but it’s really self-fulfillment.
Three people reflect on Zacchaeus in different times in his life, giving us an appreciation of what it might mean to be a “saint.”
There is no such thing as being better than anybody else, or not being as good. We are all, simply, equally, God’s Beloved.
We can’t get rid of our sin. It always wants to control us. Our racism and white supremacy is a perfect example. We have to continually listen for the voice of God, who speaks to us in the poor and oppressed.
We have been given so much, we should live every moment in gratitude. Constant, humble gratitude would be proper worship–and also make us very happy.
