The descriptor for Jesus - the one of second-chances! Jesus never gives up in calling us, gathering us, seeking us - and no matter what, loving us. Over and over, Jesus grants forgiveness, welcome, and inclusiveness. We can turn away, walk away, even run away, but Jesus is always there forgiving and full of grace for us. Isn’t that simply amazing!
Also, several of us traveled to the St. Helena Cathedral
for a Catholic/Lutheran Evening Vespers service in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Even with a long drive, mediocre dinner, and a crowd, it was glorious to be there. After all, there will never be another 500th. (Here's about half of those who were able to go):
Maybe one day, the description Catholic/Lutheran won’t apply - it will simply be a church worship service. Let’s pray that one day we will all be reunited and truly be the one holy catholic church!
Blessings.
