But as the story of the widow’s mite makes clear, generosity is not primarily about the size of the gift; rather, it’s about the disposition of heart with which the gift is given.

We’re desperate to get it right - to find the words that will unite us once and for all with God and each other. In true Jesus-fashion, he gives even more than was asked for: not just one, but two great commandments. And his answer is what it always is: love.

Perhaps above all, saints don’t wait. They understand that now is the time to serve, now is the time to love, now is the time for all on Earth to be as it is in Heaven.

Jesus makes very clear in today’s Gospel that service is his whole reason for being.

But before that makes us sad, and before we walk away from the whole thing, we should keep this in mind: the things that appear to be of absolute necessity from our vantage point are often nothing more than grains of sand from God’s vantage point.

PASTOR'S NOTE: Jan 28, 2024

We know that the years between now and then will fly by, never to return. This is their only shot to prepare for adulthood, and we take that reality very seriously. We consider every day a brick in the foundation upon which the rest of their lives will be built. Whether it’s ballet or chess, gardening or rock climbing, cooking class or cross country, poetry or physics - every hour offers some chance or other to help them become the wise, virtuous, and joyful people they’re called to be.

Dear Saints,

We’re one week into Advent and only 15 days until Christmas. It’s worth a gut-check: have I spent the season wisely so far? If so, keep going! If not, there’s still time - begin now.

Today we encounter the colorful character of John the Baptist. John was what you might call a boundary pusher, and for good reason: he came with a message that utterly obliterated the boundaries. Up till then, sin and death had pinned people into small and servile lives, but those limits were about to be demolished forever, and John’s job was to ready the people for the revolution.

John foretold the coming of the prince of peace; it’s perhaps particularly unjust, then, that he met with such a violent end. But we can honor his sacrifice by heeding his message. Let’s spend the next 15 days deliberately dismantling the boundaries of selfishness and fear we’ve set up around our own hearts. With gratitude for the messenger who first alerted us to his coming, let’s prepare the way of the Lord into our lives.


Christ’s Peace,

 

Father Daniel
