Michael Simone, S.J.

The kingdom contains as much mystery as a tiny seed, and its growth is as inexorable as kudzu.

Those places that might seem to hold no promise may in fact contain the grace that can turn the hearts of many to Christ.

Loved by God in spite of our sins, we share the cup the disciples drank.

Christ is stronger than our greatest fears and stronger than anything that holds us bound.

God sent Jesus into the world to show us the divine nature, which is pure love, entirely centered on others.

Can we be be points of overlap between the heavenly and earthly realms?

God’s Spirit flows through every heart; and at times, God stirs the Spirit in each person to advance the mission of the Son.

We who know Christ must, like Peter, help others understand their experience.

Jesus still stands at the Father’s right hand, guiding the Christian community and empowering it with the Spirit.
