Jesus—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—shows us the Way of Love so that we can be the Body of Christ.

On the joy that sustains us, even in the midst of trouble.

On the practices that help us be ready for the moment that our eyes are opened to the reality of God's presence all along.

Jesus didn’t get through life unmarked, and neither do we.

Jesus came to show us that God is no stranger to our human life.

All of us who go where God calls us are walking right next to Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

The power of God to raise up what is dead is the ground of the courage we need to apologize and make amends.

When we suffer, we want to know why it’s happening. Jesus doesn’t offer answers, but he offers his presence.

A second encounter, a second transformation: St. Photini meets Jesus, and moves from isolation to proclamation.

I probably wouldn't want all my neighbors to meet a man who could tell them everything I'd ever done, but unlike the woman of Samaria, maybe I still have more to learn about being fully known and fully loved.

Four remaining Sundays in Lent, four encounters with Jesus. On the second Sunday in Lent, we meet Nicodemus, a man transformed thanks to his own curiosity.

Why are these fishermen willing to drop everything when Jesus says, “Follow me?” Perhaps because he invites them—and us—into a new dream where down is up and up is down.

What are you looking for? This question Jesus asks is a question to hold on to, and to ask ourselves again and again, in this season after the Epiphany when we learn what it means to follow Jesus.

The Dutch theologian Henry Nouwen has written that there are three lies about our identity that most of us will take on over the course of our lives: I am what I have, I am what I do, and I am who others say I am. But our true identity is found in baptism.

As you begin this new year, know that you are held in the arms of God, and that you are named beloved of God, and member of the body of Christ.
