The Fledgling--Week of March 22, 2019

From Mother Megan:
We have now had two sessions of the Lenten Soup and Salad Series, and I am pleased to report that it has been going well. The soup has been plentiful and tasty, the bread has been excellent and the salad has also been nutritious and yummy.
After we eat, we adjourn to the Nave, to discuss the Eucharist: what we do, why we do it, where it comes from, and what it means. We are slowly moving through the Rite II service, answering questions and telling stories as we go.
For my part, I have really enjoyed researching the parts of the mass again, and talking about the theology of our space here at St. John's; pointing out the deep meaning behind the things we do so often that it can seem rote. The Eucharist is one of those things that we often take for granted; that we assume we know all the ins and outs, yet every time we take the time to reexamine, we discover something new, some new aspect of God winking back at us.
Even if you can't make it on Wednesdays, next time you're in church, take a moment to reflect on the movements and the words of the Eucharist. Ponder the generations upon generations who have done these things and said these words before us. And see what new surprise appears for you.

Prayer for the week
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
