Down in the Dust
I wrote this after an unfortunate incident on some ice right around Ash Wednesday.
Inventory
Ah the good old moral inventory. There’s no way around it on the pathway to peace. (mixed mono)
And
“And” is a very important theological word. There is no getting around tension and paradox.
Busier Than God
God rested on the 7th Day. Why do you suppose we are commanded to rest?
Lord Teach Us to Pray
This was written for a Lent series focused on prayer
Incarnation
“Incarnation” is a proclamation of the ultimately inescapable presence of the Holy One. It is a mysterious presence, to be sure, deeply hidden, yet “ever intimate” and perfectly particular. I see faith as a kind of blessed naiveté. The presence of the incarnate Word is utterly invisible to the “never naïve”. The enormous grace and love communicated in the mass is true and real if it is believed or not. But in the believing, to which we are invited, comes joy and peace.
Late Have I Loved You
“Late have I loved you, oh Beauty so old yet so new” – the words St. Augustine. Every time when what happens in worship happens, I find myself wondering why I keep forgetting so that I have to be reminded again and again. We are called again and again because our sinful nature is basically forgetful.
