Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.” My spiritual path […]

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” We go through life making plans for the future, assuming we will have an infinite number of days. “Tomorrow I will buy a house, take the trip, mend a broken relationship, learn to ski.” It goes on and on. […]

“Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.” Some moments are “Divine Chocolates” … How does one describe moments of clarity those prisms of perfection?

Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” “But what about you?” he asked. […]
