We are living stones on a construction site that is never finished, assembling a church from improbable materials. In life, love one another deeply, be hospitable without complaining. Let the word dwell in you richly. These small graces, it turns out, are the hardest and the holiest.

Paul commends the church not to a strategy but to grace. The resurrection splits every room — incomprehensible to power, indispensable to believers. The Spirit arrives as wind, not memorandum, and everyone hears in their own tongue. These readings trace a faith that ends without endings, and a story whose next chapter is ours to…

The good shepherd voluntarily lays down his life, transforming death into gift through freely chosen love. In a busy week, palm branches wave but crucify tomorrow; hosannas turn to hatred. Yet love never wavers, never chooses escape.
