The Call, by George Herbert

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life;

Such a Way as gives us breath,

Such a Truth as ends all strife,

Such a Life as killeth death.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength;

Such a Light as shows a Feast,

Such a Feast as mends in length,

Such a Strength as makes his guest.

Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart;

Such a Joy as none can move,

Such a Love as none can part,

Such a Heart as joys in love.

"Shelter is a gift, but it is not the whole of life. Rest is given for the journey; bread is given for the road; and gates are meant not only to close at night, but to open in the morning."

"We are being trained for efficiency—efficiency in forming opinions, in making arguments, in knowing who’s right and who’s wrong. But something is being lost: the capacity to stop, to attend, and to actually receive what is in front of us—or who is in front of us."

"We find meaning not in the comfort of certainty but in the boldness of an open heart."

"Will you stay where you are, or will you go where love is calling you?"

Bishop Jeff Mello preaches about Palm Sunday Christians, Passion Sunday Christians, and the Easter Christians we are called to be.

Phil Connors summed up his situation perfectly in Groundhog Day: “It’s going to be cold. It’s going to be gray. And it’s going to last you for the rest of your life.” This line could almost come straight out of the Book of Ezekiel. 

"God’s work is about liberation and transformation, not condemnation."

I pray that each of us may recognize what God has done, is doing, and will do for us, in us, and through us."

"At the edge of our sufficiency, God remains faithful."
