Listening

“Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation always causes more suffering. How many teenagers today, in many lands, state that no one listens to them? They feel ignored and discounted, and in pain they turn to each other to create their own subcultures.”

Time For Quiet

Energy is everywhere, but stillness plays a major role in its conversion from “potential” to “actualized” energy. At Callaway Gardens, I was amazed to learn that butterflies have to spread their wings in the morning sunshine because the scales on their wings are actually solar cells. Without that source of energy, they cannot fly.  Laurie [...]

Easter Sunday

“Today, the light of new day has come. With the newness of this Easter, we find ourselves basking in the hope and life that comes in the Resurrected Christ. While the rest of the world marches on, failing to notice all that is breaking forth, I hope you remember to pause, reflect, and enter into God’s passion for you.”

Holy Saturday

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. So because of the Jewish holiday of preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.—John 19: 41-42

Good Friday Collect

Lord Jesus Christ, crucified for us, we kneel at the foot of your cross to watch with you. Help us to see the cost of our forgiveness so that we may be made new through your love.  Amen (A New Zealand Prayer Book)

Maundy Thursday

“For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’

Worship in the Episcopal Church

Sunday is traditionally when Episcopalians gather for worship. The principal weekly worship service is the Holy Eucharist, also known as: the Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion, or Mass…

The Habit of Kindness

Practicing the habit of kindness is my discipline this Lent – my plan is to take a moment to write one kind and encouraging note or email to someone who won’t expect it. It’s impossible to know when the stray compliment or the “well done” will indelibly mark someone’s life. As that anonymous 17th Century nun has often been quoted:

“Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.”
