Deacon Justin Moor: “By making it through these tough times, we are growing and gaining in spiritual strength. Without desolation, we would remain spiritual children who never grow up.”

Father Jeremy Miller: “The trinity reveals who we are as human beings, that we were created in relationality. We were made to live in community, not in isolation.”

Father Jeremy Miller: “In Babel, you have the scatterings of people throughout all the world because no one can understand anybody anymore. In the Pentecost account, you have the gathering in Jerusalem of people throughout the world.”

Father Jeremy Miller: "Jesus said he will just be present in different ways."

Deacon Justin Moor: “One way we can determine the type of legacy we are building is to take a look at what we are focused on in each moment and to ask ourselves if we are being more like Jesus or more like Judas.”

Father Jeremy Miller: “Mercy is a type of love where the giver bestows what the recipient doesn’t have or what they don’t think they’re deserving of.” 

Father Jeremy Miller: “We belong here. We belong in the empty tomb. We belong at the altar of Jesus’ sacrifice, which is the continuation of his resurrected body that we receive as food.”

Father Jeremy Miller: “The cross does not say that pain and suffering go away. The cross promises to neutralize the pain, put it on God’s terms.”
