2022 Trinity: Wisdom is Calling
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
I have come to understand that the voice of God is all around me. God is not a silent God. God is speaking to me all the time. In everything. Through everyone. I am only now beginning to listen, let alone to hear.
Joan Chittister,
Called to Question: A Spiritual Memoir, p.18
2022 Easter: Good News on the Other Side
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
We have heard so much tragic news that when the news is good we cannot hear it. But the proclamation of Easter Day is that all is well. … I say this not with the easy optimism of one who has never known a time when all was not well but as one who has faced the cross in all its obscenity as well as in all its glory, who has known one way or another what it is like to live separated from God. In the end, God’s will, not ours, is done. Love is the victor. Death is not the end. The end is life.
― Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat, p. 81

2022 Lent: Trusting God
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.
Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, p. 206
2022 Epiphany: Unveiling Love
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
Jesus did not come to make God’s love possible,
but to make God’s love visible

Christmastide 2021-2022
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love divine;
Christina Rosetti
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.
