Here is a massively heartening piece

It’s a slide show of some quiet, extraordinary, unfamous-except-in-Heaven people who are helping to bring the Kingdom of God to all sorts of places and people you and I have never heard of.

I am delighted to discover that one of these folks (#8) is somebody who is a Facebook friend.

Go and check it out for a good dose of hope in these days between the Ascension and Pentecost. God’s grace is, as ever, dark matter at work in the world. Just as the entire drama of the Incarnation, Passion, Resurrection and Ascension took place in such a a way that it made no headlines, and went completely unmarked by the Big Cheeses of the world, so the work of the Kingdom continues today among people of whom the world cares nothing.
