The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much;
it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

At his death bed, our Dad called each one of us six kids to bend down to hear what he had to say. This went on through the long night, him gathering his strength to speak to each of us. Later that morning, I was in the hallway with my brother John. We commiserated with one another, marveling at how our Dad had something special to say to each one of us. “What’s funny,” I said to John, “is that I don’t remember a single word he said.” John replied, “Yeah, me neither.” And then we smiled because we both had the same reaction to that realization. Discussing it with our other sibs, they all reported the same feeling. We had no recollection of the words, but each of us was left with the feeling of being completely, unreservedly loved. No words—just direct heart to heart communication. It remains my fondest memory of my Dad. read full homily |

Peace, Jesus says. Shalom. Peace be with you. Receive the Holy Spirit. Paul says, in the letter to the Corinthians, that we are all one body, all given to drink of one Spirit. Luke tells us, in the Acts of the Apostles, that people from every nation on earth hear the good news. read full homily |
This week's quote
Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian,
stone, ground, mountain, river,
each has a secret way of being with the mystery,
unique and not to be judged.

A reader asks:
Where's the Easter Sunday service? Isn't that the main event?
Where's the Easter Sunday service? Isn't that the main event?
Actually, the main event is the Great Vigil on Saturday night. It is a beautiful liturgy and if you've never been, you are in for a treat! The evening is full of the beautiful symbols of fire and water. Everything is dark and then light fills the place. The celebration is new life and great joy. We hope you can come and see for yourself! (If you still would like an Easter morning service, the Brecksville United Church of Christ, our church home, has a service at 10 am.)
