2015 Easter – Emerging Love

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

The point of the resurrection…is that the present bodily life is not valueless just because it will die…What you do with your body in the present matters because God has a great future in store for it…What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future.

N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope:

Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, p 192

2015 Lent – With All Creation

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

If you would learn more, ask the cattle,

Seek information from the birds of the air.

The creeping things of earth will give you lessons,

And the fishes of the sea will tell you all.

There is not a single creature that does not know

That everything is of God’s making.

God holds in power the soul of every living thing,

And the breath of every human body.

Job 12:7-10. Cited in “Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation” (January 21, 2015)

Epiphany 2015 Filled with Light

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. It is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. Light, be it particle or wave, has force: you rig a giant sail and go. The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.

Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,

First Perennial Classics, HarperPerennial, 1998, page 33

Christmastide 2014

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love divine;

Love was born at Christmas; star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead, love incarnate, love divine;

Worship we our Jesus, but wherewith for sacred sign?

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine,

Love to God and neighbor, love for plea and gift and sign.

Christina Rossetti

Advent 2014 – Hectic Waiting

GATHERING

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Peace is not something you can force on anything or anyone… much less upon one’s own mind. It is like trying to quiet the ocean by pressing upon the waves. Sanity lies in somehow opening to the chaos, allowing anxiety, moving deeply into the tumult, diving into the waves, where underneath, within, peace simply is.

Gerald G. May, Simply Sane: The Spirituality of Mental Health
