Easter Posts
Over the next few days I will be posting about Easter. I am a religious/spiritual person and they will come from a place of faith and culture. As a person who appreciates all faiths it will be from a personal place and not one of condemning anyone. Our universal appreciation for love and community should bind us and bring us together. I am a follower of Jesus from a modern/liberal point of view. Thank you for your understanding.
Today Is Good Friday, Praise To You Lord Christ #goodfriday #episcopal #anglican
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen….The Collect For Good Friday of The Episcopal Church.
The message of Good Friday is good winning the day. Evil put in it’s place. It’s about sacrifice, love and grace. I think the message of this day is about a humility and heroism embodied by a man who showed by example how to live in the best way possible. I think Jesus is a superhero who never wore a cape but stood up for all people.
#TBT Throwback Thursday – The Breakfast Club
Thirty-two years ago The Breakfast Club assembled for the first time and a movie classic built on timeless teen angst and coming of age was born. This movie came out when I was a teenager back in the 1980’s and it is a movie for all generations. The video above features the last scenes of the movie to the music of Simple Minds “Don’t You Forget About Me”.
A Strawberry Pop Tart
I have a strange and sudden craving for a strawberry Pop Tart. Well it might not be so strange considering I like strawberry stuff.
Today Is Maundy Thursday
(From The Episcopal Church Website) The Thursday in Holy Week. It is part of the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter. It comes from the Latin mandatum novum, “new commandment,” from John 13:34. The ceremony of washing feet was also referred to as “the Maundy.” Maundy Thursday celebrations also commemorate the institution of the eucharist by Jesus “on the night he was betrayed.”
This evening at my parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal we will observe this event as a part of our Holy Week observances. Easter is one day, an important day but the story of it all begins on Palm Sunday leading up to Good Friday. The story of Easter is not complete without it’s backstory.
