2018 Telling the Story: Grace is Enough
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
It is unearned love – the love that goes before, that greets us on the way. It’s the help you receive when you have no bright ideas left, when you are empty and desperate and have discovered that your best thinking and most charming charm have failed you. Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there.
Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith, p. 139
2018 Pentecost
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
We are the vessels of God’s voice, her words blowing through us, bidding us to tell the tales that only we can speak.
Jan L. Richardson, In Wisdom’s Path
2018 Easter: For the Love of God
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
The mystics consistently use words like mercy, forgiveness, faithfulness, and healing to describe what they experience as God. These all imply a God who does not just impose rules, but in fact changes them for us! … And every time God forgives, God is saying that relationship is more important than God’s own rules!
Richard Rohr, “All Things Change and Grow,” Feb 26, 2018.
2018 Lent: The Foolishness of Faith
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
Today’s Gospel challenges us to decide if we will judge Jesus as outrageously impossible to follow or if we will ask him to take us with him out onto the unruly sea of gospel living. Are we willing to take on the crazy mind of Christ?
Sr. Mary McGlone, CSJ, Give Us This Day, January 2018, p. 211
2018 Epiphany: Here I Am
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God chooses people as instruments to perform wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness. God loves the lost, the neglected, the weak and the broken.
Adapted from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas, p 22
