“One of the things I love about Paddy is that he find joy in just about everything he does…Sometimes I think Paddy can teach me plenty about how to live — about how to find joy in all the different parts of my day. I wonder what brings you the most joy?” asks Archbishop Jeremy
“When you flourish, you grow and learn and find peace and joy and contentment. The Bible talks a lot about the importance of community — being together and caring for one another…we understand that true flourishing is something we do in community, with others,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
“In Luke’s gospel we are told that the shepherds gathered around the manger in which the infant Jesus was laid. The first Christmas — the birth of the Son of God — was such a humble, ordinary event, and one of the things that strikes me most is that the tiny baby in that manger gathered complete strangers in complete awe around him. When I think about Christmas, I think about those who will gather around tables to share food and gifts and stories, about those who will put aside old arguments and hurts just for a day to be together as family. I also think about those who have no one to gather with, for whom Christmas opens old wounds or reminds them of their loneliness and I wonder what more we can do to invite those people in, to gather with us,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
