The Light has burst through the darkness. The long night is over. The poet John Masefield cries with us, Oh glory of the lighted mind.How dead I’d been, how dumb, how blind! We have walked in sorrow since Thursday night. We were lost. Now light breaks forth and joy visits our minds. We are no…
Last night we became intensely aware of darkness, surrounded by the night of grief that is almost insulted by light.

And now the sorrowful fellowship of Thursday evening turns into terror with the arrest of their beloved teacher; it is the longest night of their lives. But when Friday dawns, instead of light dispelling darkness, as is the nature of things, it is darkness that falls on them all. Everything that was good seems to…

The giving of the Ten Commandments is read every Lenten season. In some churches the Commandments are read as a preparation for the Confession of Sin during penitential seasons. Recently they have been in the news, as legal battles have been fought over whether they can be displayed in public courthouses without violating the Constitutional…
Lo, He comes with clouds descending… are the opening words of a well-known Advent hymn that will be sung in many churches today. Another hymn many will sing is O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel. The two hymns are bookends for this First Sunday of Advent, one celebrating the coming of Jesus…
“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” — BCP 265 The season of Lent begins with one word: Remember. “Remember,” says priest or minister as a cross of ash and dust is traced on our brows, “that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” It is a sober beginning…
