RCL Reflection, Sixth Sunday of Easter Year B, May 9, 2021
We must remember that all the earth belongs to God—every atom, molecule, droplet of water, and handful of soil—and as such is sacred. This week’s psalm helps us do just that, as well as illumine the other lessons. (Image: Lyre, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library)
RCL Reflection, 6th Sunday of Easter, Year B, May 6, 2018
This week continues the theme of love as the hallmark of Jesus followers, but we are now called to “lay it all down” for the sake of the love we first experienced in Christ Jesus. The lessons call us to an active faith model: breaking down barriers (Acts 10:47-48) and laying down our very lives for our friends (John 15:12-13).

Lectionary Reflection for the 25th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C, November 11, 2016
In this week’s gospel lesson, Jesus instructs us to see our suffering and the changes that ravage our security and life as opportunities to witness and testify to the love and grace of our Lord. We are called to steward an “edgy” faith. (Photo: Georgie Pauwels, Creative Commons)
Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year B, May 10, 2015
What’s keeping us frozen instead of really acting like we’re chosen? The call is to love, to live, and to bear fruit that lasts. We have the commands, we have the marching orders, and we are dearly beloved. We have all we need. (Photo: James Trosh, Creative Commons)
