St. Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th century mystic, has this to say to us:  “God is music; God is life that nurtures every creature in its kind.  Our God is the song of the angel throng and the splendor of secret ways hid from all humankind.  God our life is the life of all.”

If headlines were relevant in biblical times, today’s readings might have these headlines.  All the proud and evildoers are stubble!  Fire claims them!  Neither root nor branch is left!  The Jerusalem temple is destroyed!  No stone upon a stone is left!  Demagogues rule the earth, lies seem to be reality!  War is declared again!  Earthquakes, famines and plagues are rampant!  Truth tellers are sent to prison! No one is safe anymore!

​The very first generations of Christians did not yet have the Gospel writings that we have—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They had bits of writings and oral memories of the things that Jesus had said. And they had letters from Paul and others. Meanwhile, they encountered many challenges and questions regarding their beliefs.
