Reflection from your Deacons
June 8, 2020
Last Sunday, May 31, we celebrated the event of Pentecost. The Spirit came in all her glory, filled us with fire and wind, courage and strength. She pushed and pulled us closer to herself, helping us open our hearts to greater understanding of who we are, and to lead us to the Truth. She engulfed us in Herself, Wisdom. And Jesus said “Peace be with you. As Amma/Abba God sent me, so I am sending you” John 20:21. In Peace I send you.
Yesterday we celebrated the mystery of the Trinity, three persons in one God. Paul writes: “Brothers and sister, put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you” 2 Cor 13:11.
And at the core of the relationship of the Three is Love expressed through the One who made all in It’s own image Genesis 1:26, an image of Love and Peace; the Son who showed us the depth of the love of the One who made all things by “…coming into the world that it might be saved through him” John 3: 17; and She who instills in us her very self, Wisdom. All abide in love and peace and we are made in that image, this reality is at the core of my being, the core of your being, and the core of all beings.

“The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who is yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Question: Who do you count as us?
Our blessings on you this glorious day and blessings on all in All.
