The wound of abandonment which haunts every human being will find its healing in Christ who is everywhere present as the authority and power of God.

We go out not to take Christ to others, but to meet Christ among them and reconnect his story and theirs.

The resurrection of Jesus is about the in-breaking of something which is so new, so different, so unheard of, that it changes things so entirely that we will never again become captive to all that is predictable, or ‘necessary,’ or ‘fated’.

We are called not to know, but to be known, not to see, but to be seen by God, who gazes upon us with a love so wide and long and deep that it surpasses all our imaginings.

Living as God requires may not make sense in the world, but God will make it worth our while.

Jesus calls us to take the way less travelled, to leave behind the sin that entangles, to be welcomed by God, that we may have power to welcome and love even our enemies.

The impossible life of peace, joy, justice centred in the other, only becomes possible because God makes it possible.

The gifts we most need – a place of belonging and a place of sacred meaning – will be found when we offer them to others.

Joseph is an admirable model of the willingness to put calling and values ahead of convenience or reputation.

Hope is a courageous and active stance towards life which is nourished in those who attend to the voice of God in Scripture.

Faced with the callous injustice of the world, it takes tenacious trust in the vision of God’s just reign to survive.

The faith of Christ is about the redemptive power of wounds, so love your wound and befriend it, for it is probably an angel of God in disguise.
