Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy — both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God.

Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests.

Does Jesus’ call to love our enemies mean that we should remain silent in the face of injustice? Jesus called us to love our enemies.

Imagine yourself with Jesus, in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear. When the priest read this Gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger.
