Tell stories about the world that is still possible. Tell stories that Jesus told, about lost sheep found, about generous widows who gave their all, about people who encountered healing and didn’t have to pay, about a table wide enough for all. Tell our children these stories, so they will dare to hope.

Oneing
We believe in a God who breaks open jails. God did it before. God will do it again. We believe in a God who sets people free. We believe in a God who won’t let walls that stand between us stay standing, not forever.
Thomas, Francis, and the Mystical Way
I don’t buy that Thomas was a doubter. I think he was a mystic, a mystic like Pope Francis. Pope Francis was a voice, yes, but he also ways a way-shower. He showed us this way of Jesus time and again. I wish more Catholics, more Christians, were like Francis.
Transfiguration
Today we have two strange stories about glowing faces. Moses and Jesus both shine so brightly they are said to be transfigured. Jesus and Moses don’t change into different leaders with different faces and different values. Rather these are stories about human beings who suddenly are **more** visibly, more recognizably who they are.
