The way these words are shared is as, if not more, important than what they say.The gentle wisdom is an invitation itself which makes it so much more possible to hear and to remember. Thank you, again. I missed the one from yesterday. It did not work on my computer. Peace, Kathryn
I think the series is a brillant outreach method. Pairing the video and the sermon gives a rich trove of thought and inspiration. I wonder if Fr. Benson could have imagined how creatively his sons would have adapted the tools of the current age to reach so many of us–even before breakfast! Thank you. A deeply meaningful experience so far.
Despite all of the books and commentaries, and all of the contortional and acrobatic theologies that I’ve waded through, this helps me most in thinking clearly and simply about suffering and where God is: life is invitational, so the hard landscapes we travel aren’t to be warded off or merely endured but are part of the ongoing invitation from God who is with us and invites us to be with God along the way.
It is pretty simple, so that’s why I usually overlook it. Thank you.
