Truth & Freedom
In a world fixated on replacing nouns with adjectives, the pursuit of Truth means discovering nouns. It leads us from truth to Truth. We discover Truth as an Identity.
Truth is freedom.

⁜ Since lent is a time to reboot, let's zoom in on how we can do that by dedicating time to all, so that we can be in peace with all.
⁜ I wonder how big the saints are in your day-to-day life. Sometimes it feels like we've lost touch, and others that people are hyper-obsessed. Living with the Saints is living in reality. Let's reflect on Saint Pope Kyrillos VI on his feast as well.

⁜It's a New Year, again. It's a time when people meet with family, renew their 'resolutions', and talk about how the time has flown. Families may keep certain traditions, some hardly regard the night, and still others spend it in such a way that they hardly remember it the next day.

It seems like last Lent was just yesterday, but also so long ago. It was our first Covid-lent. Since then, everything seems to be defined as pre- and post-Covid.
What exactly is Redemption? Did the Lord die in my place? How does 'God balance mercy and justice'? What does it mean that the Lord became sin? Or that He became a curse?
If we do not love one another and be there with one another - what are we actually professing, what are we living, and what is it that we believe?
Growing up, Lent was my most dreaded and favourite time of year. Dreaded because as much as I wanted to 'grow' spiritually, I also felt the pain of knowing that I was about to lose my position of comfort. It's like that feeling when you've decided to start going to the gym again. As much as I loved the idea of losing weight and feeling fit, I despised the idea (still do) of getting on that treadmill. What I loved was that once immersed in it, everything just started to work again. My spirit was giving its assent and approval of the work and it was tangible.
I think the reason there is so much doubt in the world and so much disinterest in religion, is because there is not enough living holiness around us or in us.
