“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” or “Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil.” Whichever version of the Lord’s Prayer you say, the request is the same: we ask God to be our strength and guide when we’re faced with temptation and sin. In our Collect…
Many of us hearing today’s Old Testament reading from Ezekiel—that rich and vivid story about the valley of dry bones—instantly remember the words of a song learned in childhood. These words: The toe bone connected to the foot bone,The foot bone connected to the ankle bone,The ankle bone connected to the leg bone,The leg bone…
Hoy empieza la Cuaresma. Las lecturas de este Miércoles de Ceniza nos invitan a vivir un tiempo de recogimiento y de reflexión antes de emprender juntos el largo ascenso hacia la Pascua del Señor. Dios, por voz del profeta Joel, de san Pablo y del mismo Jesús, nos recuerda la meta que hemos de alcanzar,…
Episcopalians get it about glory; that the glory of God is the hidden flesh-and-blood truth about everybody, everywhere. Therefore proclaiming the glory of the incarnation is the business we are in. Which is to say that we – every parish, diocese, province, person – are in the business of healing, and feeding, and serving, and…
La fiesta de la Presentación de Jesús en el templo tuvo su origen en Jerusalén. Hay testimonios que la mencionan ya en el siglo IV. Cuando esta fiesta se extendió por Siria en el siglo VI, se le dio en Constantinopla el nombre de “Encuentro”. Al pasar a Occidente en la segunda mitad del siglo…
En los evangelios de los últimos domingos hemos oído la voz del Bautista. Con voz de trueno y vida austera anunciaba la venida de uno mucho más grande que él. Esa persona ha llegado, es el Mesías, que según el evangelio de hoy, empieza a actuar. Con su llegada la luz brilló a quienes se…
The Bible is full of beginnings; not only the universal one, when God speaks into existence the components of a magnificent cosmos, but other beginnings as well. Thus the human race begins with Adam and Eve, and begins again after the flood with Noah and his family. In old age, Abraham answers the invitation of…
In both Testament lessons and in the gospel of this second Sunday in Epiphany we sense a strong line running through them, like a rope that pulls us up to the realization that God calls us. We surface to the light of Epiphany and pray that this light will assist us in understanding the meaning…
En esta ocasión Mateo narra un cuadro importante en la vida del Rabí de Galilea, su bautizo. Después del bautizo Jesús se retira a un lugar desierto y durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, ayuna, ora, y reflexiona para iniciar su ministerio terreno. Mas veamos hoy la verdadera enseñanza de lo que implica un bautismo….
“Covenant” is an interesting word. Mind you Episcopalians hear so much about the “Baptismal Covenant” nowadays that it is in danger of becoming one of those pious slogans often used and seldom contemplated. When The Book of Common Prayer was revised in the 1970s, some of the leading thinkers in our church were developing a…
