Book: James

Good gossip, listening in love to each other’s stories and seeking the presence of God, helps us to build connection and community and to grow in love.

God promises the best for us if we follow the way of Jesus, and faith is actively trusting that that pathway will indeed be the way of life.

When fidelity to Christ’s call is failing to bear the expected fruit, but is bearing good fruit, however humble, the call may be to persevere in hope.

Christ is sacramentally present to heal and forgive when his people are open, honest and vulnerable with one another in seeking healing for their sickness and suffering.

The challenge of relinquishing selfish desire is a crucial key to a deeper journey into the life of Christ.
