Eleven disciples on a mountain side with Jesus. Surely these followers of Jesus were a wonderful colourful description of our church down the centuries. Some were confident, some scared. Some had sought power, others denied Jesus. Some wanted hard facts, others trusted more easily. A bit like ourselves today, wasn’t it!
If you were planning to offer the gift of the Holy Spirit to the whole world, these were not the people you and I might choose to lead that campaign, were they!
Thankfully Gods ways are not our ways. We are not chosen based on our ability but based on our openess to saying yes to God! Like Mary, and the disciples on the mountainside; we are called to stand before the mystery of God in wonder and awe, and to say yes Yes to the love of God Yes to the joy of community Yes to the call of service
Those who fall in love cannot help but share that joy with the world – in smiles, in kindness, in joy and in peace.
We who know the love of God are called to share that love with the whole world – inviting those we meet into this muinteareas, this love, which includes the whole world in its grace.
