Saturday of Pentecost Sunday (Trinity Eve) – 2 Corinthians 13:5-14

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 12:12 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Whitsun Eve (Day Before Pentecost) – Romans 8:12-18

Last updated on: May 13, 2016 at 12:37 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Romans 8:12-18 There is a lot of talk today about spirituality.  Everyone is seeking it.  Everyone wants it. But what is it? One definition that has been offered by a scholar who teaches classes on spirituality is that spirituality is “Striving for self-transcendence by seeking ultimate meaning.” Now who wouldn’t want that?  Doesn’t everyone want something more from life?  Don’t we all want to transcend or go beyond ourselves and to live by what we think is most important?  But... Read more
