Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
With following Jesus, the point is not to understand or to win, but to understand Jesus. To get what he is about and wants for us.
-
In this week’s reflection, we respond to the people’s reaction to a Jesus miracle: that they want to make Jesus a king by force.
-
Our own experience of the miracle feeding of the multitudes is often plagued by the skepticism that creates the need for it.
-
Our gospel this week switches over to John 6, which tells the story we skipped in Mark 6. It’s just that this version is a little different.
-
In the pattern Jesus invites us into: work, rest, move: we get to see a life of opportunity, learning, growing, and ultimately becoming more alive.
-
In our gospel this week (and next), we are reminded of the work and the rest; of the rhythm of a life spent with purpose, and Sabbath.
