“But new wine must be put
into fresh wineskins.”
Luke 5:38
What people don’t realise,
is how much Christianity costs.
They think faith is a big electric blanket,
when of course it is the cross.
Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964)

is surely not convenient for us.
The Jesus, who makes everything
okay for everyone,
is a phantom,
a dream,
not a real figure…
Pope Benedict XVI
Take the crucifixion personally.
