Practise is worth more than mere preaching

Put love and you will draw out love
Oct 27, 2023
As Christ’s good disciples, let us love one another with a love that is so great that we all became models for all believers, even in times of great affliction and trials, even in times of those who contract and fail to love us, because just like St John of the Cross would say, “when there is no love, put love, and you will draw out love.”

God is not like us
Sep 22, 2023
God is beyond us. That is what the readings point to this weekend. The fact that God is a mystery and beyond our thinking is not something that should frustrate or disappoint us but, rather, it should be a source of our hope and the ground that we walk on as Christians.
