Gratitude

We are being taught, you and I, that God's creation is evil, that God's children are a threat, that we are to live in fear. The Jewish holiday of Shavuot offers an alternative.

Jesus’ instruction to “Take up your cross and follow me” is a call to leave behind the sanitized, feel-good, boutique, therapeutic spirituality, that makes no demands, calls for no sacrifice, asks for no conversion, entails no battle against sin, but only soothes and affirms, and turn to the self-denying path shown us by Jesus.
