Parish Mission Statement

Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

Looking at my Lenten journey as an exodus from sin and worldly values, what specifically is  holding me captive and preventing a truly new life in the risen Lord?

     In the person of Jesus, God becomes vulnerable, ultimately sacrificing his life on the cross

for our sins. But God also became vulnerable many centuries before, in the presence of Abram. The ritual we hear described in the first reading, featuring two parties walking between the carcasses of animals that were sacrificed, split in half, and placed opposite each other, was often used in ancient cultures from this era to ratify a significant covenant. The tradition symbolized the seriousness of the covenant: if one party broke their promise, they

would meet the same fate as these animals. Note that though Abram constructs the passage, he does not walk through it. Only God passes through it. Only God is bound by the covenant. Only by God’s grace can Abram and his descendants keep the covenant.
