To Whom Shall We Go!


Oddly enough this is a sunrise reflecting in a north sky.

It is easy to feel disgust with the current reports of clergy sexual abuse.  Some are tempted to quit the Church.  They mistake the leaders of the Church for the whole Church.   The Church is really all the faithful.  Anytime things are too dark to see clearly, it is our love of God and of Jesus and of the whole people of God that enables us to hang in there.  Sunrise even in the north sky!
At one point some disciples stop following Jesus because they cannot accept his teaching.  Jesus turns to the apostles and asks the very painful question, "Will you also go away?" It is good old Peter who asks, "Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life. " (John 6:59-69) 
Really, to whom shall we go!
