The Ascension of Jesus Christ. 

As St. Theresa of Avila has been credited as saying...

"The cave you are most afraid to enter is where your deepest treasure lies." Joseph Campbell.

If Saul can find freedom, acceptance, forgiveness and a calling in God's kingdom, you can too. 

Acts 9

Jesus washes the disciples' feet. 

Often, it's not about not knowing what Jesus wants us to do. It's about not liking it. 

We don't want to serve in a world of upward mobility, and yet if we're faithful we can transform the world.

the Parable of the Lost Son(s). Lostness is interesting. You can be lost for a long time before realizing it. 

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. 

the Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge. Persistence can be holy.
