How Can These Things NOT Be?
Holy Trinity Sunday, Year B, May 31, 2015
This is the Sunday where it’s tempting to rehash and explain away the truly inexplicable nature of God and the concept of the Trinity: God in three persons. God in three essences. God in three expressions. Good luck with that! Why not simply tell the story of God’s relational nature and abiding and life-giving love? (Photo: A Davey, Creative Commons )
Stewarding the Mysteries
Second Sunday in Lent Lectionary Reflection, Year A, March 16, 2014
Yes, we are charged with stewarding the mysteries of faith in a world that seeks ready, quick, and easy answers. Impossible? Thanks to the faithful witness of those who have gone before us, we continue to share the good news and sacred mysteries that defy explanation–and that defy sin and death. Along with Nicodemus, we still sometimes wonder “How can these things be?” (Photo: Punktraum, Creative Commons)
Love, Limbo, and How Low Must We Go?
2nd Sunday in Lent, Year A, March 20, 2011
This week’s gospel contains perhaps the most “famous” verse in scripture AND its often overlooked counterpart. Just what are the limits of God’s love for the world? How do we measure and define them? Surely such love transcends the limits of limbo and human frailty! (Photo by Gil Megidish used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!)
