Sunday's Baptism at St. Brendan's
It began as a phone message left on St. Brendan's office answering machine last Wednesday 7/17, inquiring whether it would be possible to have a baby baptized at St. Brendan's ....the following Sunday, July 21st! The wheels of the Worship Ministry sprung into motion in order to to put all of the necessary and proper pieces in place to answer the call of parents Elijah and Ilse Colby- summer residents of Cape Rosier - to have their seven-month old daughter, Oona Virginia Colby, baptized, one day prior to their departure that Monday. Oona's sponsors were Eben and Tara Colby of Winchester, MA and Cape Rosier. The Rev. Elaine Hewes officiated for what was a most joyous and moving service for everyone taking part. Her sermon was indeed memorable and can be found by clicking the link below. A happy occasion indeed for the Colby family and St. Brendan's parish!

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost:
The gospel reading today is Luke's account of Jesus' teaching about prayer. He gives his disciples a model for prayer and then speaks of God's willingness to hear our prayers. Jesus describes human situations in which a parent's willingness to give children what they need is a sign that God, who is far more loving and good than any human parent, is even more ready to grant that which we need.
Next in the line of prophets after Elijah, Elisha, and Amos comes Hosea. In his day (the eighth century B.C.), the kingdom of Israel is on the verge of collapse. Hosea's life was a prophetic sign. He married a prostitute and raised her children, giving them names, which indicated God's rejection of Israel. When his wife is unfaithful, he forgives her and takes her back. His life is his message; God will not permanently reject the people even though they have been unfaithful. They will become God's people once again.
We continue today to read Paul's epistle to the Colossians. Jesus in his death, resurrection, and ascension is the ultimate and perfect mediator between God and humanity. In our baptismal union with him, we are not only beneficiaries of his intercession but share with him in that mediatorial role. That role is expressed in the liturgy in the Prayers of the People, and more generally in our life of prayer. We gather in Eucharist as the priestly people of God, called by God into union with Christ, and bringing the world to God that it may be redeemed.

Icon of St. Brendan by Siri Beckman
Lord, we will trust you.
Help us to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.
Give us the faith to leave old ways and break new ground with you.
Christ of the mysteries, we trust you to be stronger than each storm
within us.
We will trust in the darkness and know that our times are in your hand.
Tune our spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make our obedience count for you.
-Prayer attributed to St. Brendan
