Love and Trust

When we really love someone, we think about them, we look for them, we listen to them, we feel close. Love manifests itself in us when we open ourselves to another person in an attitude of trust and dedication that always goes beyond reasons, trials, and demonstrations. To love is always to “adventure” in the other. This Sunday, join us on the adventure of discovering how the Christian faith is not a matter of intellectual understanding, but of love and trust in Jesus Christ.

—The Rev. Canon Hipólito Fernandez-Reina

TOMORROW: Tonos del Sur performs Santiago and Friends: Music from the Americas

Join Tonos del Sur, a historically-informed ensemble led by baroque violinist Sarah Cranor, as they share an evening of Billoni’s music and that of his contemporaries, including cantatas in indigenous languages, instrumental, and religious music, all exploring rich musical soundscapes from across Latin America during the mid 1700s.
