Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And
how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?

The beautiful thing is: eternal life is not something we have to manufacture.

It is something we awaken to.

Every time we forgive.
Every time we risk vulnerability.
Every time we discover holiness sitting beside us in ordinary life.
Every time we hear, maybe for the first time, that we are loved as we are.
