Dear Gesu Parishioners and Friends, I recently had the good fortune to attend classes at Golda Meir public school. It was fascinating to observe 4th graders listen to classical music and then discuss how it was composed. I was struck by the students' concentration, creativity, and insights. They really used their imagination.
Imagination is the creative power of our minds.
It is a gift that offers us hope. Imagination helps us to solve problems at work, to devise meaningful activities for teaching children, and to plan shared experiences that will deepen friendship or love. Using our imagination helps us to know God better and to believe that the messy, sinful world we encounter every day can be a new creation. We are to imagine not only the externals of a scene but also what's going on inside people, sensing and feeling their reactions to Jesus' words. See the town where Jesus is teaching.
