Long Pew – Friday Photo

by 1 Comment

Pews. Bare. Padded. I grew up attending a church with pews. They were padded. Three sections of them. I never really noticed how long the pews were but I do not think they were nearly as long as those in the Sanctuary of St. Monica’s. The architecture at St. Monica’s demonstrated a thoughtfulness and traditional sense of creativity.

I could not get over how long the pews were. Not padded. Extraordinarily long. Beautiful setting.

By whose faith we are saved and in whose name we pray . . And All God’s people say . . . Amen.

There seems to be great concern … Continue reading


Mark 10:46-52 (Job 42:1-6, 10-17; Hebrews 7:23-28)

Pastoral Prayer: Lord God, help us to see. Give us ears to hear what our eyes cannot see. As we see, by your Spirit, may your, “Go”, be met with our, “Follow.” And all God’s people say . . . Amen.

Saint Augustine wrote, 

The wretched helplessness of fallen humanity is seen symbolically in the blindness of Bartimaeus. (Ancient Christian Commentary on Scriptures)

Seems a harsh evaluation of a story that is limited to seven verses. Even more, what would Augustine have in mind that would lead him to such a conclusion in … Continue reading
