Celebrate the mystery and truth that God knows us intimately, God doesn't just know our names or faces; He sees the depths of our being. He knows our thoughts before we even think them, our paths before we take them. This all-encompassing knowledge can feel overwhelming, even intimidating. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, known and loved by God. May this knowledge be a source of strength...

Open your eyes to wonder. Our God is full of surprises. Very early, still in darkness, we set out. Sorrowful, uncertain, knowing only our loss, we return to the tomb in our anguish and our love. Love looks back at us and calls us by name. You are seeking Jesus, who died on the cross. He has been raised. He is not here in your loss. The tomb could not hold him. Risen, he goes before you with new li...

Today we start with palms welcoming Jesus to Jerusalem and end with the passion detailing Jesus’ betrayal by Judas, his physical and emotional torment endured as an act of divine compassion opening the path to salvation for all humankind.  This leads us to Holy Week as we commemorate Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, before resurrection Sunday! Scripture references: Mark 11:1-11 and Mark 14:1-11 “H...

As we near the culmination of Lent, we find ourselves in a familiar yet unsettling place – the wilderness. John 12:20-33 echoes this sentiment, placing Jesus in a liminal space amidst Greek seekers and a looming confrontation with his own mortality. But this wilderness isn't barren; it's teeming with seeds of life and resurrection, waiting to be sown. Scripture references: Psalm 119:9-16 a...

As we navigate the wildernesses of our own lives, let us listen to the whispers of Jesus. Let us embrace the challenges that come with denying ourselves and taking up our cross. Let us remember that the greatest treasures are not found in the comfort zones of this world, but in the depths of our souls, waiting to be discovered through faith and sacrifice. Scripture references: Psalm 22:22-30 and M...

Wilderness experiences can be isolating, lonely, challenging, and unpredictable. There are obstacles that will require resourcefulness and resilience to overcome as we navigate difficult terrain. It is an inner journey of transformation when we step outside our comfort zone and connect with God in deeper ways while learning more about our own faith.
