So, to understand Jesus and His message, we Ken Danchik must work perhaps a little harder than the people of His own time, who Associate Organist were accustomed to these ways of speaking. We have stories in our [email protected] own cultures and need only to think of the stories that have been told Beverly Farinelli to us. Some of us are familiar with farming and growing crops. But all Wedding Coordinator of us can understand that a small seed might produce an enormous [email protected] plant. That is the image of the kingdom of God that we find in the Don Fellows Gospel today. What are we supposed to make of it? Perhaps we can Director of Music and Organist think that if we nurture the faith within us, it might grow. If we do not [email protected] nurture faith, generally it does not grow. If we nurture faith a lot, it can Erica Gamerro grow into a mighty plant within us. Compare this image with that of the Pastoral Associate first reading, from the Prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us that God can [email protected] take life from anywhere and transplant it and it can grow into Eileen Lancos something mighty. The image that Ezekiel uses is taking the top of a Sacristan cedar tree and transplanting it and watching that top grow into a Jean Malek complete tree, even a mighty and enormous tree. Parish Secretary [email protected] Saint Paul in the second reading today, from the Second Letter to the Christina McCann Corinthians, reminds us that our hope is really in the life to come and Wedding Coordinator not in this life. All of us love this life. That is normal. But we must learn [email protected] to walk by faith rather than by the attractions of this world, the sight of Mike Pittek this world. We must begin to think in a new way and live in a new way Office Manager because the Kingdom is here in our midst now. [email protected] All the readings today speak of this capacity of God to make something Terri Taormina Director for Religious Education out of nothing. They also speak of our response to God’s work in our [email protected] lives. We can choose to walk by faith, or we can choose to live just in Ted Wojcik this world. If we walk by faith, then God can do mighty things in us. God Sacristan can let the Spirit change us from within so that our life of faith becomes the center of our life and we begin to walk only in the way of the Lord. Greg Zigray Business Manager To follow Jesus Christ is always a challenge for each one of us. [email protected] Sometimes we do not spend enough time with the Lord and so we forget his daily invitation to live with Him and to receive His Spirit and to live for the Father. Instead, we get caught up in this world and our values become of this world. The readings today invite us to live in a QUOTES OF THE WEEK new way because we know that the Lord can transform us if we hand ourselves over to Him. My sisters and brothers, we are invited to make “Just take everything exactly even a small choice today to choose the ways of the Lord. as it is. Put it in God’s hands and leave it with Him. Then you will be able to rest in Him – FROM THE HEART OF OUR PASTOR, FATHER STUBNA really rest – and start the 1. Following the Easter season and a number of special feasts, the next day as a new life.” Church returns to what is called “ordinary time.” It reminds us of ~ St. Teresa Benedicta of the the normal ebb and flow of life that invites us to a more even and Cross (Edith Stein) restful pace as summer begins to unfold. Of course, we are reminded by signs all around us that this has been anything but an “Never get tired of doing little ordinary time. Over this past year we have experienced the serious things for others. Sometimes impact of the coronavirus pandemic; we are working through significant changes in our parish and the Church; and our country those little things occupy the continues to struggle with so much division, hatred, and violence biggest part of their hearts.” that disturbs true peace and the unity of our citizens.

  • Abstract Friday 10:03
    ABSTRACT FRIDAY 10:03 (TWO-THIRDS OF A NOVEL) The following thesis represents two-thirds of a yet-to-be completed novel. During September, 1966, California is preparing to execute Eusebio Viramontes, condemned under a “Little Lindberg” law for kidnap, robbery, and sexual assault. He has authored two books and become a cause célèbre during eleven years on Death Row. His sister Felicia, a film student at UCLA and weekend participant in the Delano Grape Pickers’ Strike, hopes to gain public sympathy for a reprieve, but she is hampered by pregnancy and a strained relationship with her boyfriend, Albert Brofield. In a separate thread, Philip Tseng was prosecutor at Eusebio’s trial. Now he is a superior court judge and husband of a candidate for state superintendent of schools. French-born and half-Chinese, he is facing mid-life self doubt. In his spiritual questioning, he is drawn to Tom Garcia, pacifist and a leader of the capital punishment abolition movement. Just as Felicia sets in motion a UFW-style march from San Quentin to Sacramento, both Felicia and Judge Tseng are visited by Anna Sorenson, once Eusebio’s kindergarten-aged victim. Though emotionally fragile, she claims forgiveness for Eusebio. The novel contains a cameo appearance by Episcopal Bishop James Pike and historical references to Cesar Chavez, Chinese expatriates in France, Charles De Gaulle, and Capital Punishment as it was practiced in mid-20 th -century America. Brian T. Carroll May 2009 FRIDAY 10:03 (TWO-THIRDS OF A NOVEL) by Brian T.

  • “A Call to Arms” Sermon for the First Sunday After Pentecost N. Farnham & St
    “A Call to Arms” Sermon for the First Sunday after Pentecost N. Farnham & St. John’s Episcopal Churches June 7, 2020 – The Rev. Torrence Harman The Church calls today Trinity Sunday. Given our passages appointed for today it feels more like “Farewell Sunday.” And in a way it truly is as we cross over into Ordinary Time – the longest period in our liturgical year – with Paul and Jesus taking leave of their “congregations.” Two thousand years later we are crossing over into a time that definitely is not “ordinary.” And we do so as the heat of summer and the heated emotions all around envelop us. In our passages today we have good-bye speeches by Paul and Jesus – both of whom well knew traumatic times. They are taking their leave of us just when it seems we really need them to stay around, walk with us, talk us through the societal traumas our times are presenting. What do they have to say? Listen to Paul’s final words in the final passage of his Second Letter to the Corinthians. Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace and the God of love and peace be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. Now listen to the final passage of the final chapter of Matthew’s Gospel offering Jesus’ final words to his disciples as he “ascends” back from where he came.

  • Lenten Journey, We Want to Spend Time Reflecting on the Scripture and in Prayer
    LENT, A JOURNEY TO DICIPLESHIP A PERIOD FOR PURIFICATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT A PERSONAL WALK ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS Jesus himself drew near and walked with them on the road to Emmaus. The unknown stranger spoke and their hearts burned. Walk with us too! Let our hearts burn within us! Their eyes were opened when he blessed and broke bread. Let us know you in the breaking of the bread, and in every person we meet. They begged him to stay with them in the village they called home. Please stay with us. Do not leave us at the end of this day, or at the end of all of our days. #1214167v1 1858-26 1 INTRODUCTION1: Each year, Lent offers us a providential opportunity to deepen the meaning and value of our Christian lives, and it stimulates us to rediscover the mercy of God so that we, in turn, become more merciful toward our brothers and sisters. In the Lenten period, the Church makes it her duty to propose some specific tasks that accompany the faithful concretely in this process of interior renewal: these are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In this year’s Lenten journey, we want to spend time reflecting on the Scripture and in prayer. We are not unlike the disciples who were accompanied by the Lord on the road to Emmaus. They reflected on the Scripture as Jesus explained it to them. And they engaged in the most formidable type of prayer known to us, a dialogue with the Risen Lord. The materials that follow are presented to you as “signposts” on your personal walk with Jesus this Lent.

  • Great Thanksgiving
    Great Thanksgiving HYMN #617: I Come with Joy One: The Lord be with you. Many: And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. O God, you created the universe with a shout of joy, a word of delight and a big bang. You made gravity holes and antimatter, swirling electrons and dancing quarks, shooting stars and sapphire blue planets. You filled the ocean with clown fish and sharks, with dolphins and killer whales. You filled the air with doves and hawks, songbirds and hummingbirds. You covered the land with shimmering aspen and weathered pine. And You blessed all the creatures of the earth: the bugs, snakes, lizards, the lions, tigers, and bears, the puppies and the hippos, the zebras and the penguins. And You blessed all the children of the earth every shape and size, every color and complexion, every makeup and mood, every style and substance. But we, O God, preferred to go our own way. We messed things up. We wanted to be in charge. We wanted to be in control. We thought everything belonged to us. We polluted the environment. We destroyed each other. We turned playgrounds into battlefields, schoolyards into mine fields, hospitals into death camps, and children into killers. But God, you never gave up on us. You never walked away or walked out. You always honored your promises even when we broke ours. You always welcomed us home with open arms and a warm heart Even when our fists were clenched and our minds still closed.
