SUNDAY SERMON

If we are to believe the primary witnesses—the prophets, the mystics, the saints, the transformed people—an unexplainable goodness is at work in the universe. (Some of us call this phenomenon God, but that word isn’t necessary. In fact, sometimes it gets in the way of the experience, because too many have named God something other than Grace). – Fr. Richard Rohr, Meditations, The Center for Action and Meditation.

The Sun

Such wild love – do you think

there is anywhere, in any language

a word billowing enough

for the pleasure that fills you

as the sun reaches out,

as it warms you,

as you stand there

empty handed –

or have you too turned

from this world – or

have you too gone crazy

for power, for things?

– Mary Oliver, “The Sun,” New and Selected Poems, Volume I, Beacon Press, 1992.
