Going on pilgrimage, whether it is “in place” or a journey across the globe, requires stepping outside your regular routine and intentionally meeting God in a new way—that happens serving a meal at Operation Nightwatch, walking a labyrinth, traveling to Jerusalem, just to name a few. There are limitless possibilities.

Mystery asks us to look at what we cannot see. It invites us into uncertainty and discomfort—and it offers us freedom and relationship. Where is freedom and relationship calling you?

Where are you in your journey of belief? Can you identify with Nicodemus somewhere along his trajectory of skepticism, to belief, to belief in Christ?

The Holy Spirit Testifies
May 17, 2015, The Rev. Kate Wesch (5 pm service)
The disciples’ minds were opened to truly understand Jesus’ teachings. Jesus is ascending and Jesus is blessing us. My assumption is that the disciples understood the next step. And if not, they would in short order when the Holy Spirit came down on Pentecost which we will celebrate next Sunday. Jesus is preparing a place for us to go, but in the meantime, there is much for us to do here on earth.

In tonight’s Gospel, we hear about Mary and Martha welcoming Jesus into their home after Jesus raised their brother Lazarus from the dead. It is a celebratory gathering, as you might expect, in the wake of a family member’s resurrection from death. But, as would be expected in a Gospel that kicks off Holy Week, there is an element of gravity too; Judas questions the actions of Mary, who showed ultimate respect for Jesus by washing his feet—with her hair—using expensive perfume.

During this time of Lent, let us convert our lives to one of more prayer and join hands on our journey to the Kingdom of God, so that we can raise the Paschal Candle in glory to the risen Christ.
