14 Pentecost (Proper 19)

September 22, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

Recall again the words of the psalm we read a few moments ago: “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ All are corrupt and commit abominable acts; there is none who does any good” (Psalms 14:1).  One of the commentaries I consulted as I prepared this sermon said that this psalm is addressing the problem of “functional atheism” (Preaching Through the Christian Year, Year C, … [Read more...]

Year C: 2019 (Proper 16)

September 22, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

This morning we continue our yearlong exploration of the Gospel of Luke. You may be aware that this is Year C in the Common Lectionary which determines which readings we examine on each Sunday. The Lectionary is on a 3 year cycle A, B, and C. In year A, we read Matthew, in B, Mark, and in C, Luke. (John does not have its own year but is read at specific times in each of the other three.) So … [Read more...]

Proper 14C

September 22, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

There is a story you may have come across on the Internet. It is about a philosophy professor who is lecturing her students on how to lead a full life. In order to make her point...the professor has a few props - the first is a large mayonnaise jar and a pile of small rocks. The professor takes some of the rocks and puts them in the jar until she cannot fit anymore. Then she asks her class “Is … [Read more...]

4 Pentecost (Proper 9)

July 7, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

July 7, 2019, Trinity Episcopal Church, Charles D. Mayer A couple of weeks ago, as we began our journey through Ordinary Time, I said that a distinct characteristic of Ordinary Time is that we are journeying with Jesus and his early followers through their experiences beforethe events of Easter and Pentecost and Ascension. So we do well to try to suspend some of what we know happens later in … [Read more...]

Feast of St. Peter & St. Paul

June 30, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

June 30, 2019, Charles D. Mayer I have shared a number of times from this pulpit that while I felt called to ordained ministry quite early in my life, I was also quite resistant to the idea. It really was for me an experience of being pursued by the “hound of heaven.” For a lot of my life, my sense has been that what I was resisting most was what I pictured as the lifestyle of the clergyperson. … [Read more...]

2 Pentecost (Proper 7)

June 25, 2019 By admin-stpaul

June 23, 2019, Charles D. Mayer I have always found this particular Sunday in the church year to be a very interesting one.  We have just concluded the six months of the year that are devoted to festivals:  Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.  And now we have entered the six months of Ordinary Time, devoted not to the high points of the story of Jesus and … [Read more...]

The Holy Spirit will teach you everything

June 6, 2019 By admin-stpaul

June 9, 2019, Day of Pentecost, Charles D. Mayer “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all I have said to you” (John 14:26).  In John’s Gospel, Jesus promises the Advocate – or Paraclete – to the disciples as the one who will continue to teach and guide them after Jesus returns to the Father (Jewish Annotated … [Read more...]

Sixth Sunday of Easter

June 2, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

Charles D. Mayer, May 26, 2019 This morning’s Gospel is such a rich and fascinating one. Some of you were present for last Sunday’s visioning meeting, at which our facilitator Bill Cruse invited us to be in dialogue with this text as a part of exploring the histories of our two Ossining Episcopal parishes. Bill intended that work to set the stage for today’s reading of this same Gospel. So … [Read more...]

Mo. Cooper’s Good Friday Sermon

April 29, 2019 By Lisa Rosenbloom

You know - sometimes people ask why in Holy Week is the tone of our reflection so unrelentingly gloomy? Why does hope seem so scarce? Why don’t we relieve or punctuate the focus on loss with a bit more of the hope that we know waits for us at Easter?  In my experience, people who ask this are not stupid people - nor are they insensitive – neither are they helpless innocents who have never … [Read more...]

I call him religious who understands the suffering of others

March 26, 2019 By Rev Cooper Conway

Mahatma Gandhi once said: “I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.” This morning we hear that section of ‘Luke’ where Jesus is told the news of the day. The crowd is abuzz. A group of Galileans has been murdered by Pilate’s men and not just anywhere...at the Temple. Now Jesus’s reaction to this news to me seems odd. He does not exclaim in horror - he does not condemn the … [Read more...]
