On the 3rd Sunday of Resurrection Time (Easter) Francis reflected on the way 2 travellers leaving Jerusalem encountered and eventually recognised the Risen Jesus. Their world had just been rocked to the core and they knew the facts about recent events but did not know what they meant. The way Jesus revealed himself can be…
On Christmas Day we heard Luke’s account of the birth featuring Shepherds visited by angels and lots of make-do arrangements. Mary pondered all these things in her heart. What do we need to see here and what might be of importance to us who want to welcome God’s actions in our lives?
