From zeal to hope in Christ
Tears aren’t the end of the story — the story always leads to hope
By Ron Bruni
Click here to read Ron Bruni’s reflection from October 28, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
Psalm 19 tells us that creation itself declares the glory of God; every sunrise, every starlit night, speaks of Him. The message is universal, beyond words. The apostles lived this out. Tradition tells us Simon and Jude carried the Gospel to distant, difficult places—Persia, Mesopotamia, Armenia. Their mission embodied what Psalm 19 says: God’s glory is not limited to one nation or one people. It’s a message of universal love.
Ron Bruni’s reflections: “The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you clearly about the Father.” (John 16:25)
Through us, God chooses to make himself known
“I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse…”
By Steve Hall

The promise was made to Abraham, and the actualization of that promise began with the divine choice of a people in whom to interpose himself in his physical creation. He made a choice, and these were the Chosen — twelve tribes now traveling through the desert.
Steve Hall’s reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
