In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Mothers are a blessing. They are a blessing simply by the fact of how God makes them to be mothers, for by the love of a husband and by the long months of nurturing life within their very own bodies, mothers are made. They are made as those through whom life comes. Apart from Adam and Eve, there is no person ever to have lived who did not have life because of a mother.

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We call this second Sunday in Lent Reminiscere, because we pray Remember, O LORD, Thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; For they have been ever of old. He must, for our sake, He must, for Christ’s sake, remember His tender mercies for we are always in great need of them.

We remember how we have sinned, how we like sheep have gone astray in our hearts, in our minds, in ourRead More →

✠ Psalmody: Psalm 25:6, 2b, 22; 1–2a; Psalm 25:17–18; Matthew 15:26–28a; Psalm 119:47–48a; Psalm 5:1b–2 ✠ Lection: Genesis 32:22–30; 1 Thessalonians 4:1–7; Matthew 15:21–28 In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Lord remembers in that He never forgets the way that we do; forgetting to turn the stove off, forgetting to stop by the store on the way home, forgetting to wash the forehead after getting home from Ash Wednesday evening service.
