In our gospel reading today we find that Jairus and an unnamed woman are both desperate enough to fall at the feet of Jesus. They are rewarded for their faith. We explore how we might find the ‘feet of Jesus’ today, and what the role of people with faith might be towards showing the way to Jesus.
As we reflect we find that strong and rich stories of God working in our own lives are vital to making Jesus apparent to seekers.

Rev. Arnie Wierenga
As we encounter the stranger on the road to Emmaus who teaches the disciples and then breaks bread with them, we realise that the Holy Spirit is present. Their experience is ours as well, as we look to those places where the Holy Spirit leads us in our own lives.

We are invited into the divine mystery of the gospel as Jesus uses parables to share what God’s way is like. We find that while we may not understand the inner workings of divine mystery, the way of God leads us towards unexpected abundance and growth. Let all who have ears to listen, hear.

The gospel speaks of how much God loves us. It also invites us to respond to the call to live in the way of Christ. We reflect on an amazing month in our life together and see God with us in the past, during the present, and into God’s future.
