“We are his temple, and he lives within us. So my art should be really good because it’s his. He and I are co-creators. We are collaborators.” - Rudy Medlock

Theological Thought of the Day:

“The whole dance, or drama, or pattern of this three-Personal life is to be played out in each one of us: or (putting it the other way round) each one of us has got to enter that pattern, take his place in that dance.
There is no other way to the happiness for which we were made.

Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection. If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone. They are a great fountain of energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality. If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not, you will remain dry.

Once a person is united to God, how could they not live forever? Once a person is separated from God, what can they do but wither and die?”
~ C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity ~

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical Body of your Son: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Sharing a guide to Hallowtide that I wrote for my parish this year.

“There is a deeper level of meaning to Halloween than costumes and a sugar rush. In fact, Halloween is the first day of a Christian triduum called ‘Hallowtide,’ a three-day religious observance made up of Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls Day.”

All Saints

"Though Satan breaks our dark glass into shards

Each shard still shines with Christ’s reflected light,

It glances from the eyes, kindles the words

Of all his unknown saints. The dark is bright

With quiet lives and steady lights undimmed,

The witness of the ones we shunned and shamed.

Plain in our sight and far beyond our seeing

He weaves them with us in the web of being

They stand beside us even as we grieve,

The lone and left behind whom no one claimed,

Unnumbered multitudes, he lifts above

The shadow of the gibbet and the grave,

To triumph where all saints are known and named;

The gathered glories of His wounded love."

- Malcolm Guite -
