Thanksgiving Day Homily 2009
[Deuteronomy 8:1-10 / 1 Timothy 2:1-4 / Luke 17:11-19]“The Church lives in thanksgiving” wrote Alexander Schmemann. “It is the air she breathes.” Which is to say the Church lives from the abundance of the gifts. God’s gifts, showering down around her, without ceasing. Unlike the world that is blind to the gifts, the Church sees them, celebrates them, joys in them. Such a God we have! Giving to stagger the imagination. And so the perpetual thanksgiving which is merely the confession of perpetual divine giving.Moses leads the way in today’s first reading with the reminder to the Israelites of God’s provision for their journey. The Lord always lead

Old Lutheran Quote of the Day
The Word of God sanctifies everything, inasmuch as it is holy, yes, holiness, truth, and wisdom itself. And the life that is governed by the Word is the true, righteous, wise, and eternal life. But if it lacks the Word, it also lacks truth, light, and wisdom before God, and all its doings are works of darkness. -- Luther on Genesis 26http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog

Patristic Quote of the Day
What does it mean to fall off from God, except to depart from Him? Moreover, if a man is separated from God, he is necessarily united to the Devil. -- St. Caesarius of Arles, Homily 79http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog
