If I can see the love of God in others, I can find His love in me even when I don’t understand it yet.
Prayer is like “becoming fully awake.” It’s about paying attention.
I feel the gentle nudge of the Spirit this Lent to look again and see others as God’s beloved children.
ASK. SEEK. KNOCK.
Do I hear an invitation to greater trust with God who has the welfare of my heart?
RETURNING, AS I AM
Perhaps He isn’t looking for perfection from me, but rather He is just looking or waiting for me as I am.
What expectations can I let go of so I can better receive and share the unconditional love of God?
A SEASON OF DEEPENING SOLIDARITY
In the midst of all this brokenness and mess, somehow Jesus’ presence feels so strong.
A GRAZING HERD OF KIDS
As we enter this Lenten season of Fasting, Almsgiving, and Prayer, perhaps God is inviting us to enter into our spiritual hunger with greater patience and openness.
THE FACE OF TRUTH
When Matthew fully turned his attention to Jesus, he saw for the first time, someone who loved him for who he is.
HAVE MERCY ON ME, O GOD, IN YOUR GOODNESS
Lord, how can I be more aware of your mercy and goodness today?
A WAY FORWARD
I’m incredibly limited, deeply flawed, but together with God, real healing and growth can happen.
An Invitation to a Whole-Hearted Journey
Receiving ashes gets us in touch with the heart of the matter, which is the matter of the heart.
TOUCHING WOUNDS & DOUBTS
By touching wounds and doubts (ours and those of others), we come to greater peace and deeper faith.
HELP MY UNBELIEF
For me, it’s easy to “know” God in my mind, but that journey to my heart is often met with unbelief.
BACK TO THE CHORUS
I am challenged by today's reading to run towards the “normal” moments with Jesus. The in-between, familiar, and seemingly insignificant.
BREAKING THROUGH DEPRESSION WITH LOVE
The love of God has broken through depression and despair, calling us to new life.
ICHIGO ICHIE 一期一会
Jesus continually pulls close and walks next to each of us to listen to what we have to say.
A LOVING, FAMILIAR VOICE THAT CALLS US
May we let Jesus call us by name, to address us with intimacy and affection, so he can send us to be witnesses of his good news to others.
