Division of Labor

January 19, 2021

A Tale of Two Lists

December 22, 2020

We can’t wait to celebrate the Nativity of our Lord in just a few days. But in recent days, it’s His “third coming” that has occupied our thoughts. “In Advent,” Bishop Loverde shared in a Zoom reflection from Trinity House recently, “we actually recall…

My Soul in Stillness Waits…

December 16, 2020

“No way!” That’s what we said over breakfast yesterday when we realized that the same line in morning prayer had leapt off the page at us. But it’s actually not surprising when you consider our day-to-day reality…which probably looks and…
