While I enjoy some time in Montana visiting my father (who has improved dramatically!), my assistant Daisy brings you a quote from one of my favorite Christian Mystics. I invite you to contemplate on the message as you move through Eastertide:
-------“Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. ------------Don’t look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you -----------can do everything.”
—Catherine of Siena—----
P.S. If you are an adult wanting to be confirmed, received or renew your vows as an Episcopalian, you can do so on May 23 when Bishop Susan visits us. Requirements are listed below.
