Ancient Worship ~ Open Minds ~ Come Inside ~ Make a Difference




Threefold one, relationship in unity, love given and received through all the ages long: give us that unity which is not enclosed but alive and accepting with the open heart of love; through Jesus Christ, the glory of God. Amen.

Word for the Week ~ Glory
Glory, or to be glorified, is to teem with God's light and life and love. It's to draw from the deepest waters of life, how the psalmist prays: "For you are the well of life, and in your light we see light." The Gospel writers speak of glory as if someone were simply luminous, irradiated with God's light and life and love.
