Opening
remarks for Sunday, 19 June, 2016
Pentecost 5 - Proper 7
As Americans were
waking up last Sunday, (6.12.2016) we were greeted with the sobering news of
yet another lone gunman, wielding a weapon, killing 49 innocent souls, wounding
an additional fifty. How do we make
sense of all this?
And, what might be
our response? Anger. Exasperation. Frustration. Rage. We do not know what
condition our nation will be today, tomorrow, or in the future. But we do know
where Christ will be from now unto eternity.
“Stat Crux Dum Volvitur Orbis” –“ The cross stands while the world spins.”
While the world appears to be breaking apart all around us, the cross of Christ
stands strong. We are not given to panic
but to pray. So continue in the vocation, which God has placed you. Bloom where
you are planted. Gossip the gospel. Stay focused. Be a blessing.
