“Mother, Here is Overwhelming Love”
Mary sees her own son, born in a manger to her and Joseph so many years ago, dying, brutally, for us. She sees the love of God, saving the world.
Joining in Humble Service, Mutual Love
I think we need to wash each other’s feet all the time, the entire church, the entire world. This may be the sacrament this world is deeply missing.
Letting These Stories Define Our Reality
May we see that Jesus is showing us a better way and that the ways of power commonly viewed as common sense are not only wrong, they are anti-Christ.
Living in the Resurrection and the Life
Death, grief, pain, they are real, we know this. But in Christ, we have life. That is what Jesus is inviting us to: to life, life now and everlasting.
Living Water for the Wilderness of Life
Instead of living in our anxiety, fear, complaint, concern, may we live in love, joy and peace, relying on our faith that the Lord is indeed among us.
Ring the Bells that Still Can Ring
Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. Go, be that light.
For God So Loves the World
May we so love the world, so that everyone we meet may believe and love and join us in this eternal life, that the world might be saved through love.
Living for Something Bigger than Ourselves
May we all work and dream and love as passionately as she did, and may we all live for something bigger than ourselves. Amen.

We need only put God’s unending love for us and our love for God and for our neighbors on a lampstand, and let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
The Answer to the World’s Problems
We, as followers of Jesus, land here in these texts, in the Beatitudes, in 1 Corinthians, and in Micah: Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God.
