What I enjoy in my ministry is the encounter with other human beings in search of meaning and life. I am convinced that the Bible tells our story as humanity, touching deeply and without hesitation our questions and our existential experience. It is therefore a privilege for me to share, with others, the beauty, depth and relevance of the Hebrew Bible and its God for us today. It is a God who does the unthinkable: He remains entirely faithful and loyal to the human being who breaks his trust and accomplishes for him what he could never accomplish otherwise.
