Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'

God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.

It takes faith to find personal significance in your relationship with God rather than how much money you earn, how beautiful you look, how many toys you own, how many trophies you collect, or how much territory you conquer and control.

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We are in charge of our attitudes.

Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'

Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
