Reaching out and reaching up, by Bishop Ryan S. Reed

There are two lessons from the pandemic that I have learned over the last six months that I would like to share with the whole Diocese. The first is the need for the saints of God to reach out. Probably at no other time since the Spanish flu has this need for Christians to reach out to others been so urgent. My neighbor is a nurse in the Covid ICU at

May God be merciful to us and bless us

“May God be merciful to us and bless us,” from Psalm 67 A common thread of the readings today is the mercy of God. The reading from the prophet Isaiah does not mention the word itself, but the message is that the LORD will be merciful to all who will join him and hold fast his covenant. All who keep sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast the

The Lord shall give strength to his people

10th Sunday after Pentecost August 9, 2020 Fr. Randy Rogers St. John’s Burkburnett Tx The Lord shall give strength to his people; the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace. Today’s readings beg the whole question of the disposition of the Jewish people, as well as other populations of non-Christians. In today’s world of political correctness one might even wonder if we can evangelize with the gospel of

The Democracy of the dead still prevails

Fr. Randy Rogers The Democracy of the dead still prevails. It prevails, because they are not actually dead, like in having no state of existence. People in general are scared to death about death. To my knowledge we are the only species in creation that is well aware of the reality of our own passing long before it comes. We know we are finite creatures of a given life span;

The Spirit Helps in our Weakness

“The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26 ff Last week we began a discussion about life in the Spirit,

Life in the Spirit

For the last seven weeks we have heard snippets from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans. This letter is the longest of all of the epistles of the Apostle to the Gentiles. Paul did not have much success in preaching to the Jews, his own people, and the leaders even plotted to have him killed. It was his declaration of his Roman citizenship that saved him. And when he got

A Testimony from Chaplain Lamar Reece, United States Air Force

The 6th Sunday after Pentecost

Last Sunday, we heard all about how Fr. Rogers sinned in seminary. And something about chopping wood. Well, that’s all I remember, how about you? I think he also called me a sinner. I thought he was my friend. The last verse of what we heard last week from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans was this: To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the

Message from Bishop Reed

We now have cases of COVID-19 among our congregations. At Camp Crucis, staff exposure to the virus forced a tough decision this week to cancel all Summer Camp sessions for 2020. Around Texas, the number of cases and hospitalized patients has been climbing statewide for several weeks, and the Governor says next week will be worse; his executive order requires face coverings to be worn in public anywhere in the

    • Stations of the CrossStations of the CrossTime: 6:00 pm
      Also known as "way of the cross" or "via crucis" this devotion consists of 14 stations, taken both from Scripture and tradition, since the 18th century when the Church officially approved the now common Lenten practice. Through the stations, we are able to spiritually journey to the via dolorosa (Latin for "way of sorrows" or "way of suffering"). Beginning with Christ's condemnation all the way to his body being laid in the tomb, each "station" allows us to pray and reflect in prayer. Afterwards we meet in the Parish Hall for a Lenten study and meal.
