Noon Eucharist with Soup Lunch
following
6:00 pm Soup supper: 7:00 pm Evening
Prayer
Commemoration of Hans Nils Hauge
Reading: John 9:1-41
“[The
man who was born blind] answered: “… one thing I know, that though I was blind,
now I see.” John 9:25
In one of her visions, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1160) saw
a golden Christ figure pouring out divinity from himself. The golden stream of
the divine flowed down to a figure in white baptismal garments; another veiled
figure stood below Christ, the garments covered with open eyes. Hildegard
called Christ, “the One Who Gives Eyes” - eyes to see wisdom, eyes to see
justice. Perhaps eyes to see Christ in the faces of others? Eyes to see the
pain in the world? Eyes to see God at work in the universe?
Oh,
Holy Jesus,
most
merciful Redeemer,
Friend
and Brother,
may we
know you more clearly,
love
you more dearly,
and
follow you more nearly. Amen
(Prayer
of Richard of Chichester)
- Call or write a relative you
haven’t spoken to in ages. If they have died, place the letter on your
altar.
