"Why do you speak to them in parables?"

Good morning Tranmere Community.

Ø  Parables - Many, many years ago I went on a retreat that challenged me greatly. But one thing I have taken from it and continue to try and put into practice is the call to “Pray, Study, Action”. It is a challenge!
It has been explained to me as follows:- Prayer and meditation provides a pathway;  Study illuminates and clarifies that pathway;  Action is what our conscience drives us towards.
The parables can be like cryptic crosswords  [I hate them] 
Do they demand that you think more deeply without necessarily leading to a single specific lesson or truth?
Do they demand that you listen and watch with deep attention, so that a pathway becomes more clearly defined in your life experiences?

Sursum Corda!

ü  Josie tells me her daughter, Lauren, now living in Clare told her she saw Helen and Alan Tyson on the news the night before last.  Lauren said, "They have hardly changed in 25 years" and she's right!
