From the archives: Faith in the Resurrection does not cancel out what happens on the cross; the cross is its beginning.

When we try to be in charge of anything, including our spiritual life, we can narrow ourselves and limit what we might be given. We are part of something larger.

Instead of accepting the cold calculus of politicians, we should look to something deeper for clues about the real sources of peace and conflict.

To know you need help that you cannot somehow conjure up through your own power frees you. You have to turn from yourself to something outside yourself.

The most profound experience of art, or of worship, or of serious desire, involves us in something that is not limited by our own perception.
