Not blessed are the loudest. Or the most certain. Or the most politically “correct.” Jesus blesses the hungry. The ones who ache for justice but won’t weaponize it. Who long for truth but won’t trade it for cruelty. Who thirst for wholeness—and are brave enough to believe it’s still possible.

A 🧵for the Transfiguration. The Transfiguration is a beautiful feast. It gives us an insight into the mystery of God. It shows us how God’s glory can break through into our ordinary lives, transforming them and enabling us to see them in a new light. Yet it’s also full of challenge.

Yesterday, we joined thousands of others at the #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby of Parliament. CAFOD supporters, including from the Shrewsbury Diocese, met with their MPs asking them to urgently take action on the entwined crises of unjust debt and climate change. cafod.org.uk/campaign/the...

Great to see this piece. This is what we hear throughout our research - that people care deeply and want more leadership from the government in tackling the climate crisis. Keep an eye out for our new Britain Talks Climate resource - launching in September! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great to be at yesterday's 'Act Now, Change Forever' lobby of Parliament. Heard from various people about positive conversations with MPs who are prepared to engage on protecting climate, nature, and people. Wonderful to see so many faith leaders, too!

Join us in prayer this morning, on #TaxJusticeSunday25 🙏

Pope Leo: Peace- building requires “listening the point of view of others. This approach is essential for disarming hearts, approaches, and mentalities, and for denouncing the injustices of a system that kills and is based on the throwaway culture.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people and kindle in us the fire of your love.

"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4:7-8

In the Oxford area? Dr Friederike Otto is well worth hearing, and she's speaking tomorrow. Well worth a look ...
