Reflections

  • Reflections 2 – 8 September

    When exhaustion meets deep mystery, divine grace quietly reclaims our broken patterns. From empty nets and messy family lines to silent solitude and radical mercy, discover a faith that meets us in our real, unfiltered lives.

    Reflections 2 – 8 September
  • Reflections 26 August-1 September

    Love can sound like temptation when it asks for a triumph without cost, a god who avoids the cross — and the strangest arithmetic in the Gospel insists we lose our life to find it.

    Reflections 26 August-1 September
  • Reflections 19-25 August

    Those who load heavy burdens onto others while lifting nothing themselves reveal a temptation as old as sacred authority itself, and the correction offered is startling: greatness measured only by willingness to serve.

    Reflections 19-25 August
  • Reflections 12-18 August

    A camel cannot pass through a needle’s eye by trying harder, and a young man cannot release his grip through willpower alone. Some things are only ever received, never achieved.

    Reflections 12-18 August
  • Reflections 5-11 August

    True greatness, it turns out, looks less like rank or reputation and more like a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep behind, searching the hillside for the one that everyone else had already stopped counting.

    Reflections 5-11 August
  • Reflections 29 July – 4 August

    God so often arrives unremarkably, in the everyday we have stopped expecting God moments. The grace of recognition is to find him exactly where we had ceased to look.

    Reflections 29 July – 4 August
  • Reflections 22 – 28 July

    We are so quick to separate good from worthless, certain of our judgment. But the sorting belongs to God alone, and what looks like delay is mercy in disguise.

  • Reflections 15 – 21 July

    We are so quick to separate good from worthless, certain of our judgment. But the sorting belongs to God alone, and what looks like delay is mercy in disguise.

    Reflections 15 – 21 July
  • Reflections 8 – 14 July

    Grace was never reserved for the perfect. When the hour of testing comes, we are told not to rehearse — grace arrives precisely when we have nothing prepared.

    Reflections 8 – 14 July
  • 1 – 7 July

    Devotion can harden into routine until we cling to old forms and miss the new thing grace is pouring out. Life can expand.

    1 – 7 July
