"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
"Live as children of light, and find out what pleases the Lord."
(St Paul, writing to the Ephesian church)
Those who belong to Jesus are called to whole-life discipleship, to the resurrection life of the kingdom, whereby in every corner of our lives we are charged with transforming the present, as far as we are able, in the light of that future.
