Jesus did not speak of great prophets, who would follow him. No, he told us to expect humble souls, “little ones,” people we might not even notice if we do not keep our eyes open and our hearts receptive.

Strictly speaking, anyone spreading ideas, good or bad, engages in propaganda. Preaching is propaganda. St. Paul wrote propaganda.

A reflection of the feast of Corpus Christi, by the Rev. Terrance Klein

In his own divine depth, the Holy Spirit remains an utter mystery, but we have nonetheless felt his true touch.

In his ascension, Christ no longer limits himself in time and space. He is wherever and whenever his church seeks him in the Spirit.

Is God leading us into a desert, a sacramental wilderness because here he intends to speak to our hearts?

You can profess facts, but you can only trust a face. You can only entrust yourself to a person.

“The Lord speaks in the sacred Scriptures,” some might say. “There, you hear the voice of the shepherd.” This is good, but it is just not good enough.

Love is a resolve we must renew each day. We ought to remember this when we promise we will live differently, more deeply, once life returns to normal.

Staying behind closed doors may make us feel safe, but it keeps us from the people, the events and experiences that we need in order to grow into the selves we were meant to become.
