Quote of the Week

“Jesus in the gospels is so unsettling, so disturbing, so threatening, because he constantly challenges those he meets to make a choice. You can keep your riches or follow me. You can keep to your old way of life or live the life of the Kingdom. But you can’t do both. So choose."

Br. Geoffrey Tristram
Society of Saint John the Evangelist

Hymn of the Week

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
