The Adult Jesus we encounter in Mark was a busy person – but he
still had a need to find a quiet space to experience silence.
Using times of silence gives an opportunity to have deep and life giving connections with the Divine God and our inner being.
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!
In living out our faith, what hope is possible. Can shattered lives be restored, dignity reclaimed and self worth be rediscovered?
Can our society look with outward eyes and love with open arms to see greed replaced by grace, and fear and suspicion replaced by love and trust?
After all, it is God’s kingdom and not ours.
People in Lake Macquarie, NSW, who experienced something wonderful when the water lit up with a bright luminescence, wanted everyone to come and see it.
When John baptised Jesus, he realised the spirit had come and that Jesus was the one to bring healing and wholeness to people and wanted others to come and see.
We are called to share excitedly, (just like the phosphorescence people did) God’s divine peace and love to those around us and invite them to come and see.
The amazing radical truth of the reincarnation
Jesus asks for help from a Samaritan woman. She is symbolic of her people.
For her and Jesus to be in conversation challenges the status quo and breaks 2 taboos.
A Jew talking with a Samaritan, a man initiating conversation with a woman in Public.
The only water she knows is Drinking Water…Jesus offers “Living Water” – the Holy Spirit and eternal life.
