                            _________Psalm 63:1a,3a_

        

        O God, 

        you are 

        my God 

        eagerly 

        I seek 

        you for 

        your 

        loving-

        kindness 

        is better than life itself_______

The Second Sunday of Advent

In the tender com-passion of our God, 

the dawn from 
on high shall break upon us         Advent Antiphon: Canticle 16

Today in the Episcopal Calendar we remember Absalom Jones (1746-1818) who was a house slave born in Delaware who bought his freedom in 1784 (ah, capitalism, extending even to human flesh!) and was the first black person (MAN in those days!) to be ordained (no easy road!) an Episcopal priest.

                                                                                                                                 Psalm 146:9 

Happy are they who have the God of Jacob 

for their help ! whose hope

is in the Lord

 their God.. 

set us free, 

heavenly Father, 

from every bond 

of prejudice and fear 

 (Collect of the day)

The Third Sunday in Lent

                                             Canticle 16

In the tender 

compassion 

of our God, 

the dawn 

from on 

high shall 

break upon 

us; to shine

on those 

who dwell in 

darkness & 

the shadow of 

death & to guide 

our feet into the way of peace 

Labor Day

this is my prayer for you, that your love overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best   Philippians 1:9
