Hope in the Lord who saves

1st week of Advent   

In the beautiful contempletive music of Holden Evening Prayer, we hear a message of hope and anticipation.  

In Psalm 130, we hear that God hears our call from the depths and we should continue to hope in the Lord who brings salvation.  

 When we hear Jesus describing the coming of the Son of Man with stars falling from heaven, it can sound dire and horrible, not like anything we would ever hope for. But when we really look at the suffering of people God loves, we can share the hope that God would tear open the heavens and come.

Worship January 18 – The Lamb of God

Anointed by the Spirit Today’s gospel opens with further reflection on Jesus’ baptism. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the one anointed by the Spirit. In the liturgy we come and see Christ revealed among us in word and meal. We go forth to invite others to come and worship the Holy One and to receive the gifts of grace and peace made known among us.
