Reflection of the week

Posted in Faith

I see the giants of a wind farm on a distant hill. They wait, prepared for breezes to freshen, and become the power to drive the turbines within immense inert bodies.

Outstretched arms scoop the wind up into unseen, powerful and sustainable force.

 “…and suddenly from heaven came a sound like the rush of a strong wind, and filled the house where they were sitting”Acts 2:2

I long for such power to sustain my dispirited soul, until I am eager, and ready to travel with you on the pilgrim road of servanthood.

Prayer

Breath of God, stir the winds of change within my heart. Unblock my ears, that I might hear your Word more clearly, and understand your message in the universal language of love. Amen.

Reflection of the Week - 19th March 2024

The act of making a pilgrimage – traveling to a sacred place to encounter the divine – is ancient, probably as old as humanity itself. Perhaps the first Christian pilgrimage was that of the Wise Men, men who were not even believers in the Messiah, but who knew that “something” drew them from their homes and studies. Unsure as to what they sought, they found not a someTHING, but a someONE: Christ the Lord.

Reflection of the Week - 26th March 2024

Reflect, today, upon how willing you are to embrace sacrifice in your own life. No, your sacrifices are not able to save the world by their own merit, but if you face your crosses in life, be they big or small, and if you intentionally and wholeheartedly unite them to the actions of Jesus that first Holy Week, then you can be certain that you will suffer with our Lord. But you can also be certain that your suffering will be transformed by the power of this Holy Week and lead you to a glorious sharing in His triumph over all sin and suffering.

Stories of Life

Who doesn’t love a story? Hope, conflict, wonder, desperation, loneliness, surprise, love, a hero. Story seems to be wired into our DNA. We all tell them, and we find many ways to do them.
