discipleship

  • The place of baptism for Christians is not so supposed to be seen as an entrance to a club, but an invitation to a way of being.

  • This first Sunday in Advent, we explore Jesus’s apocalyptic vision and what it says about the way we work through our present.

  • Saintly Living

    In the example of Christian saints, we have people who lived remarkable lives who point to our own capacity to live the exact same way.

  • In the raising of Lazarus, we are encountering a story of the possible and the impossible, opening up what we see as each, or both.

  • Jesus calls Bartimaeus to be a disciple at the time when the other disciples are struggling to see the purpose and the glory of God.

  • Deciding how to approach this week’s gospel requires a look into our process of discerning our work in the world.
