Encountering God In The Resistance

If we use an ancient story to see to view an encounter of God's love we must understand the symbols. The symbols of this story reveal profound resistance.

Encountering God At The Table

At the table we encounter God as the host and as the meal itself. This holy meal invites us to allow God to dwell inside of us. This is a meal that we share with the risen Christ who is the host at this table where we are all welcome and who is the grace that transforms all of us into the presence of Christ in the world - the body of Christ.

Encountering God In The Other

Rooted in the ancient tradition of caring for the widow, the orphan, the poor and the sojourner, hospitality is at the core of the world’s great religions. But in a world where fear of the “other” is pronounced, how do people of faith respond to the opportunity and challenge of encountering the Outsider with a heart open to God’s presence?

Encountering God In The Struggle

How can we embrace the struggle as a means of encountering God? Can the scars we bear from our struggles be signs of our journey towards transformation?

Encountering God In The Unexpected

Lent is a time of reflection, soul-searching and taking stock of our lives. For thousands of years, religious people have made journeys of the heart as a way of gaining perspective and insight. God meets us along The Way...in the unexpected, in the struggle, in the outsider, in the enemy, at the table, in acts of resistance and at the empty tomb. As we enter into this season of Lent, may we encounter God along The Way and may we open to the blessings that await us.
