JESUS: ON FEROCITY AND GENTLENESS I love the line from the essay I posted this morning: Watts writes, “ is simply impossible to improve either oneself or the world by force.” It brought me back to a number of years ago when I was faced, suddenly and with no warning, with teaching two classes of remedial reading students. I was not the remedial reading teacher. The woman who was the remedial reading teacher decided that she wanted to “cleanse” her classes of the “bad actors.” ShePOETRY

POETRY: ORIGINAL SIN (A MEMORIAL ANTHEM FOR FATHER’S DAY), BYTHOMAS MERTON
Weep, weep, little day For the Father of the lame Experts are looking For his name Weep, weep little day For your Father’s bone All the expeditions Dig him one. He went on one leg Or maybe four Science (cautious) Says “Two or more.” Weep, weep little day For his walking and talking He walked on two syllables Or maybe none Weep little history For the words he offended One by one Beating them grievously With a shin bone.EVELYN UNDERHILL

EVELYN UNDERHILL: CHRISTIANITY PROCLAIMS THE VALUE OF THE INDIVIDUAL From Worship, Chapter IX: The Principles of Personal Worship The “praying church” is built of praying souls; and all that has been said of the fundamentally social character of Christian worship, as expressed in the common liturgic action of the church, and of the status of the individual soul as an organic part of this corporate life, must not be allowed to obscure this complementary truth. Christianity proclaims, more clearly than any other religion, the value and particular vocationMYSTICISM

MYSTICISM: BEHOLDING THE LORD BY RICHARD J. FOSTER From Sanctuary of the Soul The best contemplative tradition is often inclined to pass on from listening to a tranquil beholding. (Hans Urs von Balthasar) As we experientially learn the grace of recollection, we begin to move into the second step of meditative prayer, “beholding the Lord.” What does this mean? Beholding the Lord speaks of an inward steady gaze of the heart upon God, the divine Center. We bask in the warmth of God’s presence. We soak inGod’s

ANGELS: HE IS RISEN BY MARTIN SHANNON From: All God’s Angel But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?He is not

PRAYER: THE DEGREES OF PRAYER BY EVELYN UNDERHILL Printed for the Guild of Health, 1922 The subject of this paper is man’s fundamental spiritual activity – prayer. Every religious mind is, of course, familiar with the idea of prayer; and in one degree or another, with the practice of it. Yet we sometimes forget how very little we really know about it; how personal and subjective are the accounts spiritual writers give of it; how empirical and how obscure in its deepest moments, even for the best of us, our ownunderstanding of it

PRAYER: INSPIRED BY THE LORD’S PRAYER BY CHARLES DE FOUCAULD Our Father O God, how good you are to allow us to call you, “our Father”! Not only do you allow it, you command it. What gratitude, what joy, what love, and above all, what confidence it inspires in me. And since you are so good to me, I should be good to others. You are Father to all people, so I should feel like a loving brother towards everyone, however wicked he may be. Our Father, our Father, teach me to have your name continually on my lips. Who art inHeaven Why did
SERMONS

SERMON: NIGHTMARE INTERLUDE BY MARTIN THORNTON From A Joyful Heart: Meditations for Lent My recurrent nightmare grows out of a pastoral dilemma. I have hinted more than once against the prevalent habit amongst clergymen of treating their congregation, not only as an audience but as a near moronic one. In the bad old days when a congregation was regarded as a crowd of individual spectators, there may have been some excuse, but with the concept of full participation within the organism of the Body of Christ such an attitude will no Copyright © 2019 Create a website or blog at WordPress.com* Follow
