Jesus invites us into a story

 

“Jesus invites us into a story that is bigger than ourselves, bigger than our culture, bigger even than our imaginations, and yet we get to tell that story with the scandalous particularity of our particular moment and place in time. We are storytelling creatures because we are fashioned in the image of a storytelling God. May we never neglect the gift of that. May we never lose our love for telling the tale.”

–Rachel Held Evans, Inspired, p. 164

Most high, omnipotent, good Lord, grant your people grace to renounce gladly
the vanities of this world; that, following the way of blessed Francis,
we may for love of you delight in your whole creation with perfectness of joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

the things of God

“What is so beautiful in the things of God is their simplicity, 
their childlike truth, 
their infinitely wise and gentle lovingkindness, 
their perfect adaptability to our poor human nature, 
their real and practical beauty without strain or ambitious aims. 
They are, in short, the secret of the heart of God for humans.”

-Abbe de Tourville

Varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 

I Cor. 12: 4-7

We gather together

We gather together

We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens
His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name;
He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining
His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side,
all glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee,
Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still
our Defender will be;
Let Thy congregation
escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!
We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing.
