Active waiting means present fully to the moment, in the conviction that something is happening where you are and that you want to be present to it.

We seldom realize fully that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks. We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide to entertain ourselves until we die. But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was. Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do.

From the moment we claim the truth of being the beloved, we are faced with the call to become who we are.

The dance of life finds its beginnings in grief......Here a completely new way of living is revealed. It is the way in which pain can be embraced, not out of a desire to suffer, but in the knowledge that something new will be born in the pain.

The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised.

Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the door to God's house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know about Jesus or not. Today I see it as my call to help every person claim his or her own way to God.

The Church is the body of Christ fashioned by baptism & the Eucharist.
