Imitating Christ and not just following Christ. Being a radical, peacemaker, filled with ideas and passion
and imitating Christ with love and grace. That’s our Francis!
Look around your neighbourhood and garden and see what animals are blessing you with their presence. How can we bless them with our presence? Be like St Francis and imitate the life of Christ to humans and Animals?
A message on New beginnings by Rev Prof William (Bill) Loader
Mary goes to the tomb, the tomb is empty, a man appears, she hears her name, her heart explodes with joy!
She asks the smallest of mercies, but receives the greatest of gifts, an encounter with her friend, Messiah, Rabbi-nah!
She remembers the Good Shepherd. No other voice can define or limit who she is. She had to go and tell.
Interpretation – people interpret the same things in different ways.
Our brains can read all the words but our hearts need to also be involved in interpretation and action.
Christmas – the birth of Jesus was a promised fulfillment for the world.
Simeon’s promise was fulfilled when he was able to name ‘Jesus’.
Families can sometimes be damaging. Even in the time of Jesus’ ministry this happened.
Jesus’ ministry was to liberate people from the powers that oppressed them.
God always offers an open relationship of acceptance; of forgiveness; of belonging.
