Can We Walk the Road Together?
We recently celebrated the conversion of St. Paul (Jan. 25) as a Church. How important it is for us to walk together on this road. We are all called to conversion. Metanoia (Greek word for turning, changing course) requires that I turn around and change direction toward God, that I listen deeply and consider another way. Every person has his or her own story to tell and road to travel, except we are never alone. By God’s unearned gift of grace and the fellowship of people on the road, we can take the steps needed to become the people we were created to be. We need one another.

We Are Flailing
Today, we consume an inordinate amount of information without time to process any of it: truth (facts) and a constant stream of misinformation and outright lies. It’s difficult to know what is important, true and meaningful. Yet, Paul believes that we can know the truth. It begins with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not preach an ideology, but the words of life that transcended all the cultural and political realities of his day.
