The Center Of History

Read: Matthew 16:13-20

Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." —Matthew 16:16


In its biographical archives, The Washington Post identifies famous people with a single vocational notice, such as "home-run king" or "motion-picture star." According to a reporter, one of these files is marked, "Jesus Christ (martyr)."

Every individual who considers Jesus Christ makes some judgment about Him. French philosopher and historian Ernest Renan said, "All history is incomprehensible without Christ." American author Ralph Waldo Emerson concluded, "His name is not so much written but plowed into the history of the world."

Kenneth Scott Latourette, former chairman of the department of religion at Yale Graduate School, wrote, "That short life of Jesus has been the most influential ever lived. Through Him millions have been transformed and have begun to live the life which He exemplified. Gauged by the consequences which have followed, the birth, life, and death and resurrection of Jesus have been the most important events in the history of man."


What label do you put on Jesus Christ? If you agree that He is who He claimed to be, then let Him who is the center of history be not only the center of your creed but also the object of your loyalty and love. —Haddon Robinson

Christ wants to be the center of your life,
The reason for your being here at all;
He gave Himself a sacrifice for you,
And now He waits for you to hear His call. —Hess

Your decision about Jesus determines your destiny.

"Please stop your regular routine, let go of the "busyness" of life, and refocus on the essential of life - our relationship with God and the family of the church - the relationship that lasts into eternity. " - Vy. Rev Charles L. Brown III, V.F.

Our Lenten journey has led to the celebration of the Sacred Triduum, the Three Days, (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday: the Easter Vigil) during which we celebrate and are made present to the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord. This is the most solemn and IMPORTANT liturgical celebration of the church. In reality it is one liturgy celebrated over three days.

On HOLY THURSDAY, we enter sacred time outside of time in which we spend the Three Days with Christ, to serve, to suffer, to die and to rise. On these days the Elect and Candidates will reach climax of their initiation and we will bring our Lenten Retreat to fulfillment.

During the Three Days the church will be open for vigil; to watch , to reflect, to pray and at scheduled times the community will gather for the Liturgy. (schedule above) The liturgies for the Three Days should be the top priority on everyone's calendar this week.

My Utmost for His Highest

"The natural life is not spiritual, and it can only be made spiritual by sacrifice... if we do not resolutely sacrifice the natural, the supernatural can never become natural in us."

Neighborly Love

Read: Ephesians 4:29-32

Love your neighbor as yourself. —Matthew 22:39

The Carnegie Foundation discovered that to be successful on the job, relational skills are far more important than knowledge. Its research found that only 15 percent of a person's success is determined by job knowledge and technical skills. Eighty-five percent is determined by an individual's attitude and ability to relate to other people.

Scripture commands us to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). In fact, it tells us to love our "neighbor" as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39). And a neighbor is not only someone who lives near us or works next to us, but anyone we meet on life's journey—especially those in need.

So having an attitude of courtesy, care, and concern for others is a basic spiritual principle. It is also the most important guideline for congenial and happy relationships. Indeed, it is even the golden key to vocational success.

Our purpose for modeling a Christlike spirit of neighborly love, though, is that we want to obey God, not just to achieve success at work. After all, our supreme vocation as believers is to embody and practice the neighbor-loving character of our Lord. —Vernon Grounds

Who measures how we've done in life
And judges our success?
Our God, who gives rewards to those
Who live in righteousness. —Branon

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to yield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are the child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its shame, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

--Max Ehrmann, 1927.
