Wednesday of Sunday after Ascension, 2016 – Acts 3:1-10

Last updated on: May 10, 2016 at 12:43 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Acts 3:1-10 Have you ever noticed that God seems to especially visit those who are spiritually prepared, especially those who have devoted themselves to a life of prayer? Do you remember how Hannah was in bitterness of soul and prayed to the Lord, weeping in anguish, and pouring out her soul before the Lord?  Because she had come before the Lord, in His house, and poured out her soul before Him, He heard her and answered her prayer.  Hannah and... Read more

Ascension Day – Hebrews 4:14-5:10

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 12:32 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 4:14-5:10 We should all remember the vision of Jesus Christ that St. John records in Revelation 1 (you might want to read it today).  I want that image of the bright-as-the-sun Christ to be seared into your memory forever.  Maybe we should all go out and stare at the sun for a few seconds to remind us of who Jesus really is.  He is not the baby-faced, Bearded Girly Man Christ of Victorian pictures: He is the visible glory... Read more

Ascension Eve (Wednesday of Easter 5) – Luke 24:44-53

Last updated on: May 3, 2016 at 1:00 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Luke 24:44-53 The last verses of the Gospel of St. Luke are the final measures of the greatest symphony ever written.  The final movement of St. Luke’s Symphony includes the last several chapters of Luke, and here in verses 36-53 we have the final resolution and bringing together of all the themes and actions Luke has introduced earlier in his masterpiece. In these several verses, St. Luke actually reaches all the way back to the Old Testament, to Moses, the... Read more

Tuesday of Easter 5 (Rogation Tuesday) – James 4:8-17

Last updated on: May 2, 2016 at 12:36 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

James 4:8-17 In the beginning of Chapter 4, James unveils the lowest layer, the very foundation, of our spiritual warfare: it is the battle within each of us between pride and humility.  All throughout the Bible, the two paths a man may walk are presented in terms of a binary choice.  In Genesis 3, it is the choice between obedience and disobedience.  In the Psalms and Proverbs, it is the choice between the way of the wise (righteous) and the... Read more

Monday of Easter 5 (Rogation Monday) – James 1:1-17

Last updated on: May 1, 2016 at 3:00 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

James 1:1-17 Et tu, James?  You, too, along with St. Paul and others are commanding me to rejoice in my trials? To which St. James replies simply: “Exactly.” Do you think maybe God is trying to tell me (and you) something? Like St. Paul, St. James begins his letter not with a whimper but a BANG!  “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.”  From the beginning of his letter, James makes it clear that trials,... Read more
