Latest News & Writing
- Sermon for Pentecost 21‘We need to hear again the words of Saint Augustine to his people at Hippo: “You are the bread on the altar; behold your mystery.” The consecrated gifts,’ Louis Weil says, ‘are to us as a mirror, the Body of Christ in our hands a mirror to the Body of Christ within us.’
- Sermon for Pentecost 20It has been said that religion should ‘comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable’. The theologian Amy-Jill Levine suggests that Jesus’ parables deliberately seek to do just this; afflict the comfortable. She writes: ‘If we hear a parable and think, “I really like that” or, worse, we don’t hear any challenge, we have not heard Jesus’ words’.
