'We stand when the Gospel is read because when the Gospel is read in the midst of us, the living Jesus is addressing us in our time and place. It’s not simply a story about what Jesus did a long time ago, but it is Jesus’ message to us for today.'

'(O)ur relation to Jesus is not simply of teacher to student,
but we
are given the unimaginable privilege
of
ourselves entering into the life of God the Trinity.
By sheer
gift, not from any worthiness of our own,
in
baptism we become sons and daughters of God the Father,
brothers
and sisters of the only-begotten Son of God,
we are anointed with the Holy Spirit who dwells in the Church.'
