The Holy Spirit helps us as we try to be more like Jesus.
Our ability to love and serve comes from our relationship with Christ

We continue to celebrate the abundant life Jesus has opened to us and to all through his Resurrection.
On the evening of the resurrection and again a week later, Jesus appeared in the room where his disciples were behind closed doors. Thomas was absent the first night and had a hard time believing that Jesus had risen until he later saw Jesus for himself. Jesus continues to invite everyone to faith through the words he spoke to Thomas, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20:29 KJV)

God has been preparing us for something new, and we don’t quite know what it is yet, but we know it will be good.
Jesus established the premise of unconditional, universal reconciliation when he prayed for the forgiveness of those who were torturing him to death on the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Spiritual sustenance is especially vital in times of tragedy so we can respond in the most helpful ways to the immense temporal and spiritual needs confronting us in our own lives and around the world.
