Spirit of Unity

Trust

Life is often hard for people, but our faith assures us that life in this world is good and meaningful. All that we experience here is preparing us for even deeper love and greater bliss. But the journey can still be agonizing at times, and cultivating trust is one of the ways we mature in faith. Trust is an active virtue which we can practice.  Watch the video HERE.

Expansive Love

Baptism initiates us into a life of expansive love. While the love of family and friends is beautiful and crucial, we are led by the Spirit to grow in love. Our experience of God should always expand our spirits and enlarge our hearts to include all people. The Apostle Paul assures us  that “Christ is all and in all.” We only love Cjrist above all things by loving Christ in all things.

When We Love God Most, We Love Best

The words of Jesus can sometimes surprise us, especially when he calls us to examine what holds our deepest loyalty and love. Yet beneath these difficult teachings is an invitation to discover the freedom that comes from placing God at the center of our lives. When we love God most, we find that we are able to love everyone else more deeply.

Time Teaches

Psalm 19 tells us that “one day tells its tale to another,” which is a beautiful way of saying we are part of an unfolding story. In that story, there are joyful days and sad days, times of celebration and times of devastation. In all times, God is there to teach us what we most need to learn. With a humble spirit, we can be open to what God has for us each day, trusting that we are heading towards resurrection and that our story has a happy ending. Watch the video HERE.

It IS Your Job

When Jesus looks at the crowds and tells his disciples "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few," he doesn't form a committee or take a vote, he just sends people, even ones who couldn't stand each other. The good news is that the call doesn't wait for us to get it right... it shows up again every day, what we are asked to do is answer it. Watch the video HERE [https://youtu.be/GWCi6SpOmS0?t=1997].
