Thursday of 1st Sunday after Easter – 1 Peter 2:11-17

Last updated on: April 6, 2016 at 5:26 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Peter 2:11-17 Here is a diagram to illustrate today’s Give Us This Day, illuminating the fact that through the good works Jesus Christ does through us, we are the light of the world. The writer Gertrude Stein coined the term “The Lost Generation” for the generation of Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s. But perhaps every generation is a lost generation. Many people today – even those who call themselves Christians – have no sense or real purpose or meaning. ... Read more

Wednesday of 1st Sunday after Easter – 1 Peter 2:1-10

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 1:52 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Peter 2:1-10 “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” I had a dream once in which I was in a great outdoor library located next door to a Putt Putt golf course. Some of the books in this library were very thick, a foot wide and hollow inside, containing a variety of foods like macaroni and cheese and baked beans. ... Read more

Last updated on: April 4, 2016 at 12:19 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Peter 1:13-25 Yesterday, I lamented the temporal condition in which I find myself: that the fullness of life and glory and joy lie in the future, while I lie here in the burdened present. But I’m O.K. I made my peace with it. By faith, I understand what glory God has in store for us and how that can be united with our suffering below. By faith, I see the God I cannot see, even now. But today is... Read more

Last updated on: April 3, 2016 at 3:43 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Peter 1:1-12 “Blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29). What? What’s John 20 doing here in a meditation on 1 Peter1? Is it so surprising that John and Peter (2 of the inner group of 3 disciples) should converse with each other? “Blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed.” 1 Peter 1 is filled with delicious (because the Bread of Life is sandwiched in these verses) tensions and ironies...

Where Do We See Jesus Today?

Last updated on: August 1, 2017 at 10:05 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 20:24-31 “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). That’s us: we have not seen Jesus Christ in the flesh, and yet we believe. If this is true for you today, then you are blessed! And yet how often are we like St. Thomas after all. How often we have witnessed the testimony of Jesus Christ in our lives and yet seem unable to see Him. How often do we believe, and yet we... Read more

Do Not Go Home Unchanged – John 20:1-10

Last updated on: July 28, 2017 at 4:13 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 20:1-10 What a joyful occasion is Easter: the high point of the Church year – the high point of our lives! And yet because we are mere humans, weak and sinful, there is a temptation to let Easter pass by one more year without it changing us in any way. I therefore challenge you this morning – that today, this Easter, this celebration of the Resurrection of your Lord, Jesus Christ, that you do not leave His presence... Read more
