In prayer we are transformed; and become God's presence in the world
A constant relationship with God attunes us to his glory and insures our strength
As in human relationships, we need consistency and ritual for prayer to transform us.

Love empowers the faith community for the broken dispossessed people of the world
Through Jesus we experience joy beyond joy, and pain beyond pain.
Jesus calls us to be consistent and persistent with compassion
Take the hand of Jesus when the storms of life come upon you

The Big Picture: nothing can separate us from the love of God.
The divine harvest will separate the wheat from weeds; the choice is ours
God is the sower and we the good soil to germinate His Love
Yoked to Christ, we get direction, purpose, and dignity to share with others

Our priority: Welcome all to see the face of God in this place
God's infinite vision affirms the value & dignity of each person; there are no losers
We are called. Decide to be a Disciple to share Jesus' love
God's call gives meaning to our "nobody" existence, connects us to Jesus
Jesus is our rock of faith, the foundation which holds us together

Jesus tells us not to worry about the future or things; or let today ruin tomorrow.

The mystery of the Trinity: an open invitation to discover who we are
Through Pentecost we receive the Holy Spirit and become the Body of Christ
Jesus transcends this world so that we may follow Him into God's Glory

We are not left as orphans but under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

Listen to the voice, and know the Good Shepard
In the breaking of the bread, Christ be known to us in our everyday lives
