Gospel Meditation~LPI Theology has two words to describe the space between God and us - transcendent and immanent. When we say God is transcendent, we speak of the One whose ways are not our ways, the placer of stars and maker of mountains. This is God who transcends our understanding, whose being goes beyond what we can know. When we say God is immanent, we mean His nearness to us. This is the way Jesus speaks of himself in today's Gospel. "Whoever loves me keeps my word... and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him." The Hebrews saw God as intimately involved with the fate of their people. But for all His care, God was still distant to most. He spoke through prophets and was represented in blazes of fire and pillars of cloud. Priests offered animal sacrifice to atone for the nation's sins. While we still know that God is transcendent - any morning's resplendent sunrise confirms this - Jesus introduces us to himself in a new way. Not only does Jesus walk among us, but the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Just a reminder…if "The Advocate, the Holy Spirit... will teach you everything, and remind you are planning to you of all that I told you. Peace I leave with you!" move or have moved, How do you tend to view God? For many of us, the transcendent sense of a distant God might fill our perception. Today's Gospel reminds changed your phone us of something altogether different, something more intimate. Our God number, had a name remains with us. He overcomes the confusion of the world and speaks change or any new additions to peace to our troubled hearts. Our God is not far from us. The more we your family... please notify the remain connected to Him and love as He loved, the more we will experience His nearness. We can have confidence in His presence and parish office. Thank you! rest in His encouragement: "Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."

Listen up! Dig deep! Jesus had a lot to say!! And those who listened discovered a treasure in his words. At first, Jesus’ parables seem simple. Of course we know: ** the type of soil in which seeds are sown is important for plants to grow, but what does that have to do with us? ** if someone asked us for food, we wouldn’t be rude and give a stone instead! ** if we lost something important to us, we would look high and low and celebrate when it was found! It turns out, that the parables have a greater meaning beyond what we first see.

So come along, help us dig deeper and reveal the treasures of the kingdom of heaven to our children this summer!
