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

2018 Lent Bulletin Cover with image adapted from Hokusai "Under the Wave off Kanagawa"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

2017 Advent: Comfort, O Comfort My People

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Advent is a season for our imaginations to run wild as we contemplate a God who becomes human. We are given a wider glimpse of God when we allow Advent to be an invitation to dream beyond our comfort zones of what we think can happen in our lives or what God can do.

Enuma Okoro, Silence and Other Surprising Invitations of Advent, p. 9

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION
Spring bulbs and summer seeds come to life in the unlit places underground. Costly jewel stones lie embedded in the dark interiors of ordinary rocks. … The dark depths of the ocean teem with life.
