Pentecost Sunday, the wonderful conclusion to the Great 50 days of Easter. On this day, we drink of the Spirit of the living God. And this Spirit is the fruit of the victory Christ won by his death and resurrection. Pentecost cannot, therefore, be separated from Easter. But why did the disciples receive the Spirit? This Sunday reminds us that the disciples received the Spirit in order to inaugurate the universal mission of the Church. As modern day recipients of the same Spirit, we ask God to shatter all barriers and lead the Church, and the Church of the Epiphany, where God wills. Having rested in awe before the One who transforms our every crucifixion into resurrection and makes possible the handing over of our lives in love for yet another day, another year, the rest of our lives, we stand ready to inaugurate again the great work that God has entrusted into our lives.

In Gospel Memories, Bishop Jacob shows that there is truth in the idea that our past shapes our future, the gospel is all about the counter-intuitive promise that God is shaping us right now toward God’s vision of who we will become. It is not our past that makes us into the image of God; God’s redeeming love does that. In God, who we are not yet is shaping who we become. Gospel Memories will have special resonance for people at turning points in their lives: career changes, loss of loved ones, graduation, illness, divorce, birth of a child, entering middle years or later years. Life is filled with turning points at which we feel compelled to tell our story in a new and different way. Gospel Memories The Future can rewrite Our Past, is available at Amazon, in Paperback or in Kindle...
