Fr John’s reflection for Sunday 15 Dec 2024

 

Make the Paths Straight

Once again, we listen to the teaching of John the Baptist. He reminds us to reach out to those in need and not to exploit our positions for personal gain. As we come closer to Christmas, I pray that our hearts not be coarsened. Have a peaceful preparation for the remainder of Advent.

Fr. John Armstrong

DE COLORES!

“The intellectual quest is exquisite, like pearls and coral. But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether. Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to wonder.” (Rumi Wisdom; trans. Timothy Freke)
