Your business is to follow me

Just a few thoughts

I have bumped into many significant quotes lately and they are very much worthy of contemplation.

·        ‘Everyone deserves a safe place to call home’ – Vinnies Australia

·        The very notion of dialogue has atrophied throughout our culture, as partisan, racial, economic and ideological divisions have undermined civility and the basic proposition that we can learn from a dialogue with those with whom we disagree. – Robert McElroy

·        "God trusts us and accompanies us with patience. He does not get discouraged, but always instills hope in us. … He does not keep track of your shortcomings but encourages your potential. … In this way God accompanies us: with closeness, mercy, and tenderness." – Pope Francis

·        "There was a time, even in our churches, when people spoke of a holy war or a just war," the pope told Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in their March 16 video meeting. "Today we cannot speak in this manner. A Christian awareness of the importance of peace has developed. Wars are always unjust, since it is the people of God who pay. Our hearts cannot but weep before the children and women killed, along with all the victims of war. War is never the way."

Reflection

ü The Spirit is there to continue teaching and guiding us and leading us ever deeper into the meanings of God’s Word.

ü With prayer and supplication, make all your needs known to God
