READINGS

“So this story isn’t yet primarily about Jesus. It’s about people like us, muddled & afraid but showing up, going to look, still not understanding, but unable to let go. About people like us finding a stone rolled away when we thought it was impossible, but not yet understanding why it’s happened or what’s going to happen next.”

- NT Wright

“To practice the sacrament of sacred presence is to be Jesus, and to see Jesus. It’s all right in front of us, here and now...Certainly, if we live in the past, we will be depressed. If we live in the future, we are guaranteed anxiety. Now is always vast and new. Like any practice, it’s not about technique or program. It’s a decision.”

Gregory Boyle
