The Midweek B.L.T. for March 25, 2020
This "Blessed Little Thought" is the first in an ongoing series that will be shared during New York City's period of sheltering in place.
-------------------------------------------------------------
On the Annunciation:
"Wondrously, what we remember this day, March 25, is that God acts through us, with us, and in us. In this season, in these unprecedented times, we are given the chance to take a little more time - to carve it out - where we might find our own spot to be still and to open up our souls to what God wants to bring into our lives..."
The Rev. Zack Thompson, Associate Rector

On John Donne and the Psalms:
"In these coming weeks, we are invited, like never before, to bring all of our emotions to God -- our love, and joy, and confusion, and fear -- and find it vindicated in the feast of the Resurrection, that we are known by God, and loved by God, with a power stronger than anything in the world. Even death."
The Rev. Eva Suarez, Associate Rector

The Eucharist: Who & What, Part 1 (audio only)
The Revs. Ryan Fleenor and Eva Suarez kick off our 5-week series on the Eucharist with an in-depth look at the meal that started it all: Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, and the command to “do this in remembrance of me.”
Since the earliest days of the church, Christians have gathered on Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist. Following Jesus’ command ("Do this in remembrance of me") it is the most basic action of Christian discipleship. Sometimes it is so familiar that we do it without engaging deeply with what's really going on. And yet we know that the Eucharist has a unique power to shape our spiritual lives. Research shows that participating in the Eucharist is a key catalyst for spiritual growth for Episcopalians. The more we engage with the Eucharist and seek a deeper understanding of it, the further we move along the continuum of spiritual growth toward a life centered in Christ. -
