Christ’s grief gathers up our griefs and achieves the promise of a day when tears will be no more.

Sermons on Saints
Living the beatitudes is tough and dangerous, and we will need the inspiration and company of the saints, before us and beside us, if we are going to make it.
The faithful who have gone before us are held securely in the powerful gracious memory of God, where their love and prayers for us live on until we are united with them in resurrection.
As we gather with the saints of all times to worship the crucified victim, we are immersed in a culture that is so at odds with the values of this world that those who truly embrace it just appear odd for now, but strangely and alluringly familiar too.
Living the beatitudes is far to lightly dismissed as being “only for saints”, but Christ calls us all to live as saints.
The values Christ calls us to live by can (for most people) only be lived in community with the saints, past and present.
