Welcome to Sunday. Buona domenica! It's a day I have been waiting for. Jesus gets into the boat of fisherman Simon, and into your boat too, and tells us to put out a short distance from the shore (Lk 5:3). And if we take the delightful approach to life of the Sufi Master Hafiz, how could we ever be afraid, and not respond with the Prophet Isaiah, Here I am, send me! (Is 6:8).

And I have become

Living in a
