Brother Give Me a Word: Resurrection

Our memory fails us if we think of Jesus’ resurrection only in terms of “then” and not also in terms of “now.” We are not reenacting Jesus’ resurrection; we are reappropriating Jesus’ resurrection power.

-Br. Curtis Almquist

 

 

Brother Give Me a Word: Sacrifice

Sometime this week, someone will need you to lay down your life for them, and you will need another to lay down their life for you; when that happens you will be in the presence of love. You will be in the presence of God.

-Br. James Koester
 

Brother Give Me a Word: Give

God’s generosity is boundless and, in turn, prompts in us a generosity that is boundless as well.  This is a generosity that does not count the cost. This is the generosity that anoints the feet of Jesus.   How different it is to the gift that serves to our own advantage.  And be assured, we can and will know God’s generosity if we give ourselves to others without expectations or requirements.
-Br. Eldridge Pendleton (1940-2015)

Brother Give Me a Word: Carry

Carry
“By loving us first, God makes it possible for us to love others, and Jesus asks only that we share that love. But in so doing he tells us that we must take up our cross and follow him. Our hands must reach out, pick up the rough wood, and carry it – for ourselves and for others.”

– Br. Robert L’Esperance

    

This is going to take some practice!

Weather Cancellation!

Tonight's Lenten Eucharist at Supper at St. Thomas' has been cancelled because of the weather. Stay dry and pray for those in areas of local flooding!

This Week!

Ok, lots to do this week, BUT.....

Canterbury@ULM will not meet 

at our usual Monday evening time!

The reason is a bit of a long story, which I will share with you Monday, 3/14/16, the date of our next meeting. The short version of the story is that I must go to Baton Rouge Monday and will not get back until late, and I did not have time to make other arrangements for you.

In the meantime:

RES WEEK  

It's Res Week on the ULM Campus. I don't know everything that's happening, but I'll be checking the Quad regularly to see what's going on Tuesday thru Thursday.  The culmination is a worship service Thursday:
