The Power of Symbols

This week, Rev. Patrick speaks about the power of symbols and the wisdom of parables. We can paint a picture with words, in a parable or story, that we can't with the naked truth and facts. Parables teach us that we have to let go of things that were taught to us---beliefs that hold us back---that somehow seem precious to us. We have to "sell it all" to buy the pearl of great price---spiritual freedom.
