CAUGHT UP IN A GREATER LIFE
Advent is a time to be caught up in a greater life with God.
SURPRISED BY GRACE
This unexpected gift invites me this Advent to create greater space for God to take the greater place.
GOD’S GIFT
Each morning when we wake up, God offers the chance to live into the promises of our baptism in completely new ways.
TO JOYFULLY DECREASE
How can I find greater connection, community, and healing through “joyfully decreasing”?
GREAT, ANOTHER LEPER?
Jesus looks at leper after leper in the eyes and joins them, sees them, heals them.
BECAUSE GOD LOVES US FIRST
Fill our well with grace and reminders of how we are deeply loved, just as we are.
RATIONING LOVE
Jesus challenges them to look beyond the obvious solutions, to make space for love to enter in and multiply what is already there.
WHERE DO GOD LIVE?
To care for and educate the poor is to care for Jesus in the poor, the migrant, the homeless.
ALIGNMENT
Trust and faith were my companions to endure the walk of unfurling a deeper self - a call towards a life of Christ within me.
HOW MARY RESPONDS TO UNCERTAINTY
Because her trust in God is greater than a desire for certainty, she is open to receive all of God’s unimaginable gifts.
“YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!”
They simply had a taste of what God promised for their lives. Maybe that’s enough.
UNEXPECTED EPIPHANY
We looked around at the unique decorations and offerings on the tombs: tangible outpourings of love, grief, and healing.
LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
We’re each born into a family that God chose for us, and while conflicts are possible, so too is love and mercy.
BEARING WITNESS
When I look at my day, I ask what my actions testify about where I place my hope and trust.
SINGING A SONG OF PRAISE DURING A DIFFICULT TIME
We are not alone. May that be enough for us to sing a hymn of praise.
OPENING NEW DOORS OF GRACE
Trying something pretty different - with divine inspiration - opened the door to incredible, abundant grace.
“AND THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.”
Mary gives me a model of prayer, rooted in the past but open to the future.
LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE
Perhaps as much as I want to hear the Lord’s voice, He longs to hear mine.
