Easter II: In other words, Jesus offered a transforming CPR in the breath of the Holy Spirit amid the prevailing climate of fear and anxiety, the true opposites of faith.

Easter: The resurrection…is such an assault on the airtight space-time-material box our age has us trapped in, in which something isn’t real if you can’t see it, touch it, or find it on the internet.

Easter: It is in sharing, loving, and caring for one another that we are able to be touched by the very hand of God.

Good Friday: Strangest of all, we Christians believe that when we look at this man on a cross we are seeing far more than one agonizing death. We are seeing as much of God as we ever hope to see.

Good Friday: I invite you to lift up whatever seeks to separate you from God, one another; whatever binds you, whatever enslaves you, whatever imprisons you—take it to the foot of the cross to the One who is the source of our healing.

Palm Sunday

A Prayer for Japan: We need God’s unique strength to hold in check the degree to which we are part of the world’s danger and a threat to the fragility of others.
