Holy Saturday
"Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. O wonder of your humble care for us! O love. O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! O happy fault, that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer!"
The Easter Exultet
I am set free from sin and death, I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; we sing these phrases and the depth of their meaning finds their culmination on a cross. May we truly live the redemption and freedom bought with so great a cost.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, robed in light as a cloak." Psalm 104:1, 2
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
