Our Every Moment

God redeems our every moment,

transforming them by the blood of the Cross

and the power of the Resurrection,

making them all one.

Forgive Us All

In praying, “Forgive us our trespasses,” 

we are asking forgiveness not only for ourselves 

but for everyone else as well. For there is no them; 

there is only us — of whom we are all a part.

Pride Has Ten Thousand Faces

Pride has ten thousand faces,

and every one of them is false.

Evil In Our Own Heart

We are naïve about evil

until we have recognized 

the depths of it in 

our own heart.

Our True Origin

Our true origin is not in time but in eternity,

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Understanding of Eternal Things

Our understanding of eternal things

gets flattened out in our time-bound perspective,

like trying to understand a three-dimensional world

from a two-dimensional point of view.

Life is But One Moment

Life is not a passing stream of moments.

It is but one moment.

This one.

The Gift of Repentance

It is through the gift of repentance

that God shows us the way to life.

How We See God

Repentance doesn’t change

how God sees us but

how we see God.

An Ongoing Process of Faith Being Formed

The fast God desires

is one that never ends,

an ongoing process of 

faith being formed by 

the love of God.

But to Give Sight to the Blind

Jesus did not come into the world

to get mixed up with religion.

Bring the Ashes of Your Life

Bring the ashes of your life

and let them be marked with the Cross

— for there is hope.

Let Go for the Moment

Let go the what ifs of the future and the if onlys of the past. 

They keep you from the one thing that matters:  

this present moment with God ... 

the only moment there is.

Perfectly Revealed in Christ

The holiness of God is the revelation of his love,

and the justice of God is the revelation of his mercy.

All is perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ.

God, Grace and Glory

God is love.

Grace is the love of God reaching out to us.

Glory is the revelation of that love and grace 

— the revelation we have in Jesus Christ.

The Prayer of My Breathing

Lord, let the prayer of my breathing

be as angels ascending and descending,

inhaling the breath of your Spirit

and breathing out your praise.

Amen.
