All Reflections
Paid in Advance
When I think about the Apostles accepting their martyrdom, I wonder what they were reaching for in that final moment. I like to think they were back in the upper room. A reflection on John 14:25–31.
Almost Home
Thérèse of Lisieux knew where her home was before she was old enough to go there. David felt the same way about the temple. What they both learned is that the leaving has its own gift. A reflection on Psalm 27.
Countdown
When I was young my dad would count down the minutes with me after the Eucharist. It took me a long time to understand I had been counting down on exactly the wrong thing. A reflection on Romans 8:14–17.
In Plain Sight
The clues had been there the whole time. The voice had been speaking. I just had to stop moving long enough to hear it. A reflection on Isaiah 40:28–31.
Stay
The disciples didn't go searching for somewhere better after the Ascension. They went back upstairs. It turns out the upper room had been the right room all along — they just kept becoming the right people to be in it. A reflection on Acts 1:12–14.
