Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 19, 2019 Sister Phyllis Listen here (click) We are invited, invited to love as Jesus loves. We are invited to grow into loving as the Trinity loves. A love that is relational, merciful, forgiving, unifying, full of great joy and abundance, and very inclusive. Today we celebrate that inclusiveness as we welcome our Eritrean brothers and sisters, their culture, their language, their music and how they celebrate the Eucharist. Welcome.

April 20, 2019 Leif Kehrwald Listen here. I grew up in an era of “greatest hits” albums. All my favorite music groups as a teenager—Elton John, The Eagles, America, Beach Boys, Neil Diamond, to name a few—put out a “greatest hits” album that was simply a must-have record. I loved them because I could listen to one favorite song after another. Holy Thursday
April 18, 2019 Sr Phyllis Jaszkowiak Listen here. Jesus gives us a model to follow. Don’t be afraid to be humble in doing the work the lowest paid people do, those we take for granted. We should be willing to serve others, to clean up the mess others make, to take the last place, to wash people’s feet and sometimes bathe them when they cannot bathe themselves, or even maybe to get paid the least or not at all. And through it all learn what God wishes us to do to make things better and more just for people, especially the least Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

April 10, 2019 Heather Pashley Listen here (click) When I read the passage for this evening, I didn’t remember who Samuel was, and I was really curious what it was that God asked of him. I read the whole chapter and discovered that Samuel’s mother was barren, but prayed to God for a son. When her prayer was answered, his mother offered him to God by leaving him at the temple to study with the priest, Eli. God spoke to him, he became a prophet and eventually anointed David as the king. During these prayer nights we have focused on Stopping, Looking, and Listening, and God’s calling seems like the next logical step. Having never done a reflection like this before, I thought I was supposed to just focus on verses 1- 10. I tried to focus on how God called out to Samuel three times before he was able to recognize the sound of the Lords voice. I thought about how the story mentions that God didn’t seem to be speaking to anyone recently, and that Samuel didn’t even know the WORD of God yet. |
