The Collect:
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
—The Book of Common Prayer (1979), page 236

The Assigned Readings:
Acts 2:1-21 or Joel 2:21-32
Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
Acts 2:1-21 or Romans 8:22-27
John 15:26-16:15
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My Episcopal parish recently held a few focus groups. Our tasks were envision the congregation in a decade and to think about what the church should be then, to focus on goals and broad strokes, not technical details. I stated my version of that future. I also said, in broad terms, that we ought not to focus on what we can do or think we will be able to do, but on what God can do through us. I vocalized the principle that we need to focus on divine agency, not human agency.
This has been the task of the Church since its birth on Pentecost 29 or 30 C.E., in Jerusalem. God has always been central; human egos have imagined otherwise.
As we continue our collective and individual spiritual journeys in Christ, the Holy Spirit will accompany, advise, and advocate for us.

Apocalypse and Hope
MAY 12, 2024
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Collect:
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
—The Book of Common Prayer (1979), page 236
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Assigned Readings:
Acts 9:32-43
Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35
2 Peter 3:8-14
Mark 13:1-13
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The apocalyptic tone of 2 Peter 3:8-14 and Mark 13:1-3 is actually good news. God is the king of creation, of course, despite appearances to the contrary. The word of God continues to spread, despite violent attempts to prevent that. The end of the current world order will precede the rise of the divine world order.
One of the themes in the New Testament is the importance of remaining faithful–of not committing apostasy–despite many short-term reasons to do so. Avoiding prison, continuing to live, and preventing suffering all sound like good reasons not to do something, do they not. They are, much of the time. However, Christian fidelity sometimes leads to incarceration, suffering, and/or martyrdom. Yet, if we suffer with Christ, we will reign with him.

Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

The Assigned Readings:
Acts 9:1-22
Psalm 98
2 Peter 3:1-7
Mark 12:28-34
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In Mark 12, after Jesus rebuffed two trick questions and evaded a political trap just a few days prior to his crucifixion, he heard a sincere question. His reply was consistent, with the Hebrew Bible and Rabbi Hillel: Love God fully and one’s neighbor as oneself.
Saul of Tarsus, while zealously participating in making Christians martyrs, thought he was loving God fully. God had a different opinion.
All things have continued as they were from as far back as documentation and memory recount. We say that God is the king yet we read headlines and consume news stories that seem to indicate otherwise. Doubting ans scoffing are understandable results. Nevertheless, we must retain hope that divine justice will eventually prevail; we must never surrender to despair. Perhaps God will work through us to improve the world as we cease to seek excuses for disobeying the Golden Rule while pretending to honor it.

Obliviousness, Deliberate and Otherwise
APRIL 28, 2024
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Collect:
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

—The Book of Common Prayer (1979), page 236
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Assigned Readings:
Acts 8:26-40
Psalm 22:22-31
2 Peter 2:12-22
Mark 12:18-27
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Ignorance of scripture is a matter in Acts 8:26-40, in which St. Philip the Deacon (not the Apostle) evangelized a man on the path to finding faith in Christ. That pericope fits well with the assigned portion of Psalm 22, with its global emphasis. Ignorance of scripture is also a matter in Mark 12:18-27, in which Jesus fielded another in a series of trick questions–this time, about the resurrection of the dead, of which the Sadducees rejected. Apostasy–rejection after acceptance–not ignorance–is a matter in 2 Peter 2:12-22.
The readings from 2 Peter and Mark point to deliberate obliviousness. We human beings are deliberately oblivious to much. This is not always negative, for we have finite time, and we need to choose where to focus. I am deliberately oblivious to almost all television, the majority of movies, and bad (that is to say, nearly all) music. I am also a Western classicist, and I enjoy many old movies. The three and a half hours required to watch Lawrence of Arabia (1962) are always time spent well.
When we are oblivious to God, however, we occupy the realm of the negative. When we seek a proper path, we need reliable guides. May we walk in faith and, when God calls upon as to do so, may we function as reliable guides, so that all the nations of the earth will serve God.

Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Assigned Readings:
Acts 8:1-2, 9-25
Psalm 23
2 Peter 2:1-11
Mark 12:13-17
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The context for the reading from Mark 12 is Holy Week. As one reads the chapter, one should notice the tension building up to the crucifixion in Chapter 15.
Jesus had the ability to spring traps on people who tried to ensnare him. The Roman coin bore the idolatrous image of Emperor Tiberius, allegedly the “Son of God, ” the heir of Augustus, supposedly the “Savior of the World.” The hypocrisy of Christ’s would-be ensnarers was evident physically by the possession of such a coin.
St. Augustine of Hippo, writing in On the Psalms 58, provided sage advice:
Caesar seeks his image; render it. God seeks his image; render it. Do not withhold from Caesar his coin. Do not keep from God his coin.
In Tractates on John 40, St. Augustine wrote,
We are God’s money.
Empires, kingdoms, and nation-states rise and fall, but God lasts forever. The latter deserves more love than the former. Divine love, depending on the translation of Psalm 23, either pursues or accompanies us. This grace, which is free, imposes demands and obligations on us in public and private morality. We have an obligation to be God’s coins.

Imaginary Righteousness
APRIL 14, 2024
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Collect:
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
—The Book of Common Prayer (1979), page 236
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Assigned Readings:
Acts 7:48-60
Psalm 4
2 Peter 1:13-21
Mark 12:1-12
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Many of those who persecuted St. Paul the Apostle and who were complicit in the executions of Jesus and St. Stephen imagined themselves to be acting out of righteousness. St. Paul, as Saul of Tarsus, had zealously martyred Christians and been present for the stoning of St. Stephen.
To read the assigned lessons and imagine that they have nothing to do with us, who have not martyred or persecuted anyone, would be convenient, would it not? Yet we are guilty of, at a minimum, of consenting to the inhumane treatment of others–perhaps prisoners, immigrants, employees in deathtrap factories, et cetera. We think we own the planet, but we are merely tenants. Many of those who peacefully oppose injustice risk martyrdom or incarceration.
The minimal extent to which we are complicit is the degree to which we are invested in socio-economic-political structures that rely on and perpetuate violence and exploitation. Yet we imagine ourselves to be righteous.

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of life,
which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Assigned Readings:
Acts 6:1-15
Psalm 133
2 Peter 1:1-12
Mark 16:9-20
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The solution to the lack of fraternal unity (see Psalm 133) in the church at Jerusalem was the creation of the diaconate. St. Stephen was one of the first deacons. His diaconal duties did lead to his martyrdom, though. No, his preaching (see Mark 16:16) did.
The martyrdom of St. Stephen occurred soon after the crucifixion of Jesus. The death of St. Stephen was the first Christian martyrdom. The martyrdom of Christians has continued into the present day, unfortunately. Many who have caused a host of these martyrdoms have done so in the name of God. A plethora of Christians have gone to their martyrdoms at the hands of other Christians.
One can correctly derive more than one valid lesson from the death and resurrection of Jesus. One of these lessons is never to take life in the name of God.

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24
1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Mark 16:1-8
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah, that these words of mine were written down,
inscribed on some monument
with iron chisel and engraving tool,
cut into the rock for ever.
This I know: that my Avenger lives,
and he, the Last, will take his stand on earth.
After my awaking, he will set me close to him,
and from my flesh I shall look upon God.
He, whom I shall see will take my part:
these eyes will gaze on him and find him not aloof.
My heart within me sinks…
You, then, that mutter, “How shall we track him down,
what pretext shall we find against him?”
may well fear the sword on your own account.
There is an anger stirred to flame by evil deeds;
you will learn that there is indeed a judgment.
–Job 19:23-29, The Jerusalem Bible (1966)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the context of the Book of Job in its final form, the continued faith of Job, afflicted with divine consent by the loyalty tester (the Satan) then rejected by surviving relatives and insulted repeatedly by so-called friends, makes little sense. The Avenger/Vindicator/Redeemer, or kinsman-redeemer who was to avenge innocent blood, had to be God, for whom the alleged friends presumed to speak. One irony in the Book of Job, in its final form, is that we who read Chapters 1, 2, and 42 know that Elihu, Zophar, Bildad, and Eliphaz were wrong when claiming that God protects the innocent, in Job’s case. Yet Job still trusts in God.
The reading of this passage on Easter Sunday makes sense. Did not the resurrection of Jesus vindicate him? And does it not vindicate we who, in faith, accept his resurrection?
Job’s attitude, in contrast to the forgiving spirit of Jesus on the cross, is understandable. Job’s attitude also vindicates the human need for justice. God will judge and show mercy as God deems appropriate.
The Gospel of Mark originally ended with,
…and they were terrified
at the empty tomb. Such fear was understandable; the women at the tomb had no hindsight regarding the resurrection of Jesus. Hindsight was impossible at the time.
I try to minimize how much I anthropomorphize God. Some of it is unavoidable, given human perspective. To a great extent, God is, for lack of a better word, other–not quite unknowable, but still other. The somewhat unknowable other terrifies us sometimes, even in showing extreme mercy, for we do not understand. With hindsight, however, we can find reasons to rejoice, not fear.

Liturgy of the Word:
Isaiah 50:4-9a
Psalm 31:9-16
Philippians 2:1-13
Mark 15:1-47
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The two options for this Sunday are to focus on the Triumphal Entry and to treat it as the précis of Holy Week through Good Friday. The Humes lectionary follows the second path.
Devotions for Palm/Passion Sunday have something in common with graduation speeches; they risk all sounding the same. I, having written many devotions for Palm/Passion Sunday, know how little one can write for this day without becoming repetitive.
Therefore, I ask you, O reader, to do something perhaps difficult for you. Read all the assigned readings aloud or listen attentively while someone else reads them. Experience these texts as most people who have experienced them have done so–audibly. Focus not on any particular line or on a few verses, but on the whole. As you listen, let the texts form you. Then go and live and think accordingly.
Pax vobiscum!

Daniel 12:1-10
Psalm 51:1-12
2 Timothy 4:5-22
Mark 14:53-72
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With one week to go before Palm/Passion Sunday, we read downbeat lessons–an apocalypse in Daniel 12, confession of sin in Psalm 51, reports of suffering and bad treatment in 2 Timothy 4, and the railroading of Jesus by the Sanhedrin and the denial of Jesus by St. Simon Peter. All of this is seasonally appropriate.
Where, however, is the good news? God shows mercy to the contrite. God keeps company with the faithful suffering. The resurrection is temporally nearby in the Gospel narrative. Furthermore, the fully realized Kingdom of God will be good news for the faithful.
Before we get to the good news, however, we must pass through the valley of the shadow of death.
