A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
Divine Worship: Daily Office (Commonwealth Edition) contains Morning and Evening Prayer from the Anglican prayer book tradition, now approved for use in the Catholic Church through the Personal Ordinariates.

The sacrament of marriage provides one of the main models for, and language of, understanding the relationship between God and humanity in the covenantal promise, between Christ and his bride the Church, and the final consummation between heaven and earth in the renewed creation.
The abandonment of the self to the will of God is the essential first steps to the transformation of the world. Without it we inevitably remain a part of the problem.
It is in the serving, accepting and associating with the seemingly powerless that we encounter the living God, for we imitate Christ himself who came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
If we acknowledge our Lord to be the Christ, Son of the living God, then to follow him is only possible if we take up our cross.
The law of God reveals a glimpse into at least three fundamental things: the nature of God’s holiness; the desire and will of God for his people; the depth to which we humans have fallen. We must renew our hearts and minds in Christ, in whose flesh the law of God became incarnate for our salvation and who showed the way to life through his death and resurrection. We need the external law to become an internal reality.
