Matthew 22:34-46 – Mary love, Martha love

Last updated on: November 8, 2016 at 5:53 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

When we need advice on important questions in life, we come to wise men. If I want to know how to do something related to the church, I’m most likely to pick up the phone and call Bp. Grote (of the Reformed Episcopal Church).  If you wanted to know how to invest your money more wisely, you’d call a financial planner. But what if you had the opportunity to go to the wisest man who ever lived and ask Him... Read more

Last updated on: November 4, 2016 at 6:03 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

As I gaze deeply into this parable I see a few things that remind me of my life here on earth.  In the first place, I find that I am in a similar situation to that of the vinedressers, who are Israel.  The earth is the Lord’s garden, and He has placed us in it to tend it, wherever He has planted us.  It is all His, but He allows us to live here and allows us to partake of... Read more

Last updated on: November 2, 2016 at 4:06 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

  Ignaz Phillip Semmelweis was born in 1818 into a world of dying women.  The finest hospitals lost one out of six young mothers to the scourge of “childbed fever.”  A doctor’s daily routine began in the dissecting room where he performed autopsies.  From there he made his way to the hospital to examine expectant mothers without ever pausing to wash his hands.  Dr. Semmelweis was the first man in history to associate such examinations with the resultant infection and... Read more
