Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles,

but on a cross between two thieves;

at a crossroad so cosmopolitan that they had to write his title in [three languages] . . .

at the kind of place where cynics talk smut, thieves curse, and soldiers gamble.

Surrounded by foes, religious opponents, soldiers and a few friends.

Fully present to the end of his love.

‘Keeping our Christianity confined to a church is like expecting that simply sitting in a garage will fix your car.

Jesus died and rose again to became the centre of our world.

Shouldn’t we keep try and live our faith modelled on his?

That is what he came to reveal to us.
