Walter Brueggemann

Welkom by ons hemelvaart-refleksie op hierdie doodgewone Donderdag, waar ons vir ’n oomblik stop om die wonder van hierdie dag, en daarom elke ander dag, te onthou.

“The will of God is not a ‘fate’ to which we submit but a creative act in our life producing something absolutely new . . . something hitherto unforeseen by the laws and established patterns.

- Thomas Merton
