We're closing in on the Italian Dinner -- next Friday, May 21st, at 6 pm. Extend an invitation to your friends and plan on coming. Among other delicacies, a variety of lasagnas will be on the menu. Proceeds will go to Meals on Wheels, Agape Ministries, and Episcopal Relief and Development.
Food for thought from Joan Chittiser (The Liturgical Year: the spiraling adventure of spiritual life, p. 170) . . .
Life is an intoxicant that no amount of more mundane inebriants -- faster, deeper, more alluring, more captivating -- can possibly equal. The problem is that for life to become its own exhilarant, we must learn to live it consciously, to live it deeply, to live it to the brim, beyond the visible to the meaningful. Somehow, in the midst of the purely natural, we must become aware of what is more than simply natural. We must cross the line between matter and spirit, between time and timelessness. We must allow one to become the other so that the gifts of neither may be lost, so that the electricity of each can be released.
See you in church!
Blessings,
