2023-06-04_Trinity Sunday_Pride Month

Trinity Sunday_Pride Month June 4, 2023   Today is the Feast of the Holy Trinity.   June is both Pride Month and Indigenous Peoples Month in Canada.   Today, I used one of the bible translations accepted by the English-speaking Church because I want to share with you how word choice can limit inclusive and creative thought.   Due to the patriarchal culture of the time, God is addressed as Adonai or Lord in speaking to God, with only the first letter capitalized, as is used by Moses’ prayer in the first reading.   The word LORD in all caps is used six times in today’s first reading.   The name of God used most often in the Hebrew Bible when speaking of God is the Tetragrammaton , romanized as YHWH .   However, the Jewish people traditionally do not pronounce it, and instead refer to God as HaShem , literally "the Name".   This conveys that God cannot be reduced to a “he/him” or a “she/her”.   The culture of our time allows for the use of...

Plant Hope and Keep Awake

  This homily adapted from the work of Allison Tanner (Woke Time) and Jonathan Brennenman ( Keep Awake) found at:   https://www.fosna.org/keepawake Have you ever encountered a catastrophe so horrible that the sun darkened, the moon didn’t light, and the stars fell off from the night sky? Have you ever experienced feeling so terrible that your cries shook the powers in the heavens? Have you ever felt the crushing weight of the sky falling upon you? Mark 13:24-37 alludes familiarity to such a time of suffering and loss. The text at once refers to total cosmic disturbance and exhortation to stay awake, to persist in the responsibilities of keeping attunement to the present alive. Many scholars note its familiar apocalyptic overtures. According to Richard Horsley, the most “apocalyptic sounding part of the gospel of Mark is precisely in this passage which focuses on the climatic restoration of the people.” This historical background of this passage, for Horsley, is within th...
