LOOK CLOSER, LOOK BEYOND

Something in our human nature leads us to think of "signs" in terms of the miraculous and the extraordinary. The Gospels, however, tell us what we should be looking for - the presence of God in our lives and in our world. Our God is never absent, never idle, always present and active. Through Jesus, God works to reveal a kingdom, a kingdom of justice, of peace and of love. And we are told that this kingdom can only be established through our cooperation with the experience of God. So we are always on the look-out to see signs of that kingdom, signs of God’s presence in our world.
