If you are ready for a broader faith perspective you might appreciate this offering – something a little different

In every encounter, local and afar, with people of every age and at every stage of life, the struggles and joys of people are remarkably similar.

Humans too often make the fatal mistake of separating body and soul, yet our deep desire is for unity of body and soul.

Both readings are personal favourites and every time I hear them and ponder them these texts speak to me in new and powerful ways.

Too often we settle for an existence of lurching from one satisfaction to the next.
