“The resurrection is not grounded in our experience. It is grounded in the Word of God, which declares what God has done.”

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gave His Church a new and greater Passover: His own body and blood, given for the forgiveness of sins.

As Lent deepens, the Church draws closer to the place where the love of God and the sin of the world meet face to face.

God’s work in the world often unfolds quietly, hidden beneath ordinary circumstances that appear insignificant to human eyes.

The Christian life often begins to deepen when we finally recognize that we are not meant to carry everything ourselves.

Christ has not left us to search for Him in the uncertainty of our hearts. He has attached His promise to Word, water, bread, and wine so that faith has somewhere sure to rest.

“Faith lives not by mastering life, but by clinging to Christ where He has chosen to be found: in the cross, in the promise, and in mercy for sinners.”
