I have been thinking about
the Parable of the
Dishonest Manager (Luke
16:1-13) many times over
the last number of weeks.
Because, as we had been
finishing Epiphany and just
starting Lent, we were also
really just starting our new
initiative of “adopting” the
weekly Sunday morning
coffee hour. Now “ministry
teams” (the new lingo for
“church committees”) were
to be taking on the allimportant task of
Hospitality 101within
parishes everywhere:
getting the coffee made!
You’ve probably heard the
jokes as many times as I
have: if the Church were to
add an additional
sacrament, on Sunday
mornings it would be
brewing java.
Let’s be honest about it: St.
Mary’s has been struggling
within this caffeinated
realm for quite some time.
Simply getting the coffee
made on a consistent basis
has not been a claim we
could make. All-to-often,
the offering (which was
more a burden for some I
imagine than a joy) was
falling to the same couples
or families. Even after
maybe a month or six
weeks of sequential
successes, like the
rebellious Israelites found
in Exodus, we would fall
back to our former ways.
The next couple of
Sundays there would be
very little; sometimes
nothing.
So why the Parable of the
Dishonest Manager?
Because I have been
pondering what the Holy
Scripture can mean for
repentant Christians (which
is really to say, those
followers of Christ Jesus
who are open to thinking
about things in new,
healthy, and life-giving
ways) if we take Luke
16:10 to heart:
“Whoever is
faithful in a very little is
faithful also in much;”
As of the end of March, I
am beyond happy to be
able to report that all of
the remaining months of
the year save one—
October—are now covered
by church committees and
ministry teams. We have a
commitment to coffee!
This is a perfect example
of this year’s theme:
“Stepping Back, Moving
Forward…Breaking Down,
Raising Up.” As Luke’s
Gospel tells us, if we can
do the little things
together, and do them
well, even quite well, then
we will have incentives and
renewed hope to confront
the big-picture needs of
individuals and
communities. Now, about
that non-dairy creamer…
All peace,
Fr. John+

Found
In the Gospels we read
how Mary of Magdala came to
anoint the body of Jesus with
spices. It was early, before
dawn. Mary had been to the
garden tomb earlier, when
Joseph and Nicodemus had
laid Jesus’ body inside. To her
dismay, the stone was now
removed from the entrance,
and Jesus was missing.
Distraught, she ran to Simon
Peter and John and told them
all about it. It was true: all
that remained in the tomb
were the linens Jesus had
been wrapped in. Jesus’ body
was gone.
So the disciples decided to
travel back to their homes in
Galilee. Mary, however, stayed
outside the tomb crying. While
weeping, she bent over to look
once again into the tomb. Was
he really gone? This time she
saw two angels in white
seated where Jesus’ body had
been. “Woman, why are you
crying?” they asked her. “They
have taken my Lord away,”
she replied, “and I don’t know
where they have put him.”
Mary was beside herself, lost
in grief, for she could not find
her Lord. Then suddenly she
noticed someone behind her –
the gardener perhaps?
“Woman, why are you crying?”
he asked her. “Sir, if you have
carried him away, tell me
where you have put him, and I
will get him.” Mary would do
anything and go anywhere to
retrieve Jesus’ body. He, of all
men, deserved a proper resting
place.
Then she heard her name,
“Mary.” In that instant Mary
recognized her Lord. She clung
to him and wouldn’t let him go.
When Jesus spoke her name –
“Mary” – everything changed.
She had been looking for Jesus,
but Jesus had found her. It was
she who was lost, not him. It
was she, bent over in despair at
the tomb, who needed lifting
up. Jesus, the living one, raised
from the dead, found Mary and
transformed her life.
So it was for the rest of
Jesus’ disciples. Cleopas was on
his way to Emmaus, trying to
process with a friend all that
had happened to Jesus. Jesus’
closest disciples were huddled
together behind closed doors in
Jerusalem, mourning and afraid
that they too might be
arrested. Others had gone back
to fishing, not knowing what
else to do. Yet whether on the
road to Emmaus, confused and
bewildered, or in a room locked
in fear, or in their boats,
laboring and frustrated over yet
another dismal attempt at
catching fish, Jesus came to his
own. In their need he spoke
their name – “Thomas,” “Simon
Peter,” “Cleopas” – and their
eyes were opened, their hearts
burned, and they believed.
The disciples, scattered and
aimless, each in his or her own
way was found by Jesus,
brought back to life by the one
who was still doing his Father’s
work. “Why seek the living
among the dead?” the two
angels asked Mary. “He is not
here; he has risen!”
Yes, Jesus was gone, missing.
And yet he was alive. One by
one his disciples encountered
him anew and were changed
forever. Jesus was on the
loose, finding all those who
could not find him, seeking out
all those who could seek no
more, revealing himself to
those whose hopes and beliefs
had been shattered.
As with Mary, Jesus still
comes to us. Yet if we are not
careful, we may not notice him.
We may be too wrapped up in
the material world, bent over
with the weight of things that
don’t last. We may even be
looking where Jesus can’t be
found: in buildings and books,
holy places and sacred times,
confessions and creeds. Jesus
is not there.
And yet he goes ahead of us to
our various “Galilees,” to
transform those familiar places
where we feel safe and secure
but where we, despite all our
good efforts, remain empty. He
penetrates the walls we hide
behind so we might believe
again. He interrupts us on the
roads of everyday life, in the
midst of confusion and
controversy, to open our hearts
and minds to the kingdom of
God.
Easter must never become a
remembrance, a mere
celebration, or worse, a
discussion or debate. For Jesus
wants to come to us again and
again, here and now. As with
Mary, he calls each one of us by
name. And he asks us: Why are
you crying? Who are you
looking for? What are you
straining to find? What is
upsetting you so? Why are you
afraid? He speaks into our
hearts, personally, directly, so
we can see him as he really is.
Our lost Lord finds us.
Jesus comes to everyone who
feels lost without him. This is
the miracle of Easter. On our
own, we can never find him. But
he can find us. Our names are
on his lips.
Written by Charles E. Moore
God had brought me to my
knees and made me
acknowledge my own
nothingness, and out of that
knowledge I had been reborn.
I was no longer the centre of
my life and therefore I could
see God in everything.

What's So Good About Good Friday
I love Easter Sunday. I love the
way my church's normally
casual congregation takes
everything up a notch (or
three)—the girls in new linen
dresses and the boys in once-ayear ties. I love the jubilance of
the music, and the preacher's
grin when he urges us to turn
to one another and say, "He is
risen!"
Easter Sunday is the Christian
faith's gold medal victory lap
and its raison d'etre. It's the
Happily Ever After to end all
happily ever afters. Easter
Sunday shouts: "Death where is
thy sting?" and "Love wins!"
and "God is alive!"
But here's the rub: I dread
Good Friday. I dread the
images of torture and suffering.
I dread the somber music and
the awful remembrance of the
violent death of a loved one—of
Jesus, the Loved One. I dread
the smothering grief and the
inescapable remorse and the
terrible recollected cry, "My
God, why hast thou forsaken
me?"
Left to my own devices, I'd
probably skip Good Friday. But
I suspect that if I did, Easter
morning would become
increasingly hollow. I'd forget
how much my salvation cost.
What's more, I'm pretty sure
my Good Friday avoidance
would cause me to lose touch
with certain realities about the
way the universe works on this
side of eternity. I'd start to
believe that you can have
victory without sacrifice. I'd
convince myself that you don't
have to die to live the
resurrection. I'd buy the lie that
Christ's ultimate victory over
death—and my decision to
follow him—means life on this
earth will be trouble-free.
The biblical writers warn us
repeatedly that the Christian
should not expect a life exempt
from Good Fridays. They
encourage us to consider every
hardship pure joy because
suffering is an opportunity to
identify with Christ and become
more dependent on him (James
1:2-4). They repeat Christ's
plainspoken invitation to "take
up his cross" (Mark 8:34-35).
And yet for many of us Easter
Sunday Christians, when the
job is lost, or the tumor is
malignant, or the friendship is
betrayed, we grieve not only
the wound but also the fact
that we can be wounded. We
feel that either we're not doing
faith right or that faith—that
Jesus—has let us down. We
don't consider it "pure joy"
when our faith is tested. We
consider it failure.
I'm beginning to think our
expectations are not just
unrealistic, they're anti-gospel.
But our confusion is hardly
surprising. According to some
experts, we're bombarded with
more than 3,000
advertisements a day, telling us
we're entitled to (and must
pursue at any cost) an easy,
ageless, worry-free life. When
we meet and accept Jesus,
many of us can't help but
distort his promise of abundant
life into something that
resembles the illusion
advertisers sell us every day.
So how do we become Easter
Sunday Christians who truly see
(and even embrace) the good
in our Good Fridays? How do
we resist our sense of
entitlement and the distorted
expectations that are so deeply
ingrained? I've found the
following four principles helpful.
Check the Definitions
When I read that God "works
all things together for good," I
can't help but think of the
marketers' definitions and
assume that "good" means
"easy," "youthful," "desirable,"
and "wealthy." But when I read
the Bible, I discover that God
defines "good" in entirely
different terms.
New Testament Christians
seemed to believe the greatest
good is to become more like
Jesus. They took it for granted
that this process wouldn't be
easy.
"What do people mean when
they say 'I am not afraid of God,
because he is good?'" asked
C.S. Lewis, musing on this idea.
"Have they never even been to
a dentist?"
Evidently, early Christians also
assumed that the "good" God is
working toward is much more
expansive than one individual's
personal circumstances. God is
establishing his kingdom, doing
nothing less than "reconciling all
things to himself" (Colossians
1:20), and the ultimate good for
the believer is to be included in
that process.
I'm immensely comforted when
I remember that the God who
cares deeply and personally
about even a fallen sparrow is
watching over me. But I've been
a parent long enough to suspect
that my heavenly father knows
more than I do about what I
need and where I'm going—and
about what's best for the whole
family. So it's a safe bet that his
definition of "blessing" is
different from mine.
When I'm expecting Easter
Sunday and I get Good Friday
instead, I'm trying to remember
that God's definition of "good"
undoubtedly confounds and far
exceeds my own.
Re-evaluate Death
Almost all the new beginnings in
my life have come from what
felt at the time like terrible
endings. So I know I need to reexamine my concept of "death."
Frequently, what seems like a
small (but devastating) death is
actually a chance at new life. I
can point to dozens of "dead
ends" in my career, ministry, or
relationships that turned out to
be opportunities to change
direction.
Nature gives us vivid examples
of this principle. Like seeds, we
must be willing to be broken in
order to grow into what we
were made to be. Like reptiles,
we have to shed old skins. Like
caterpillars, we must be
entombed so we can emerge as
completely new creations. When
I think of all the energy I've
expended resisting endings and
change, I wonder what new life
I've missed.
Jesus tells us to die so we can
live. He invites us to surrender
all the illusions we have about
what makes a life good and
worthwhile so we can discover
real life. And then he walks with
us, every step of the way, as we
die a thousand deaths in the
process of letting his life go
deeper and deeper into us. Until
at last we really and truly
physically die, only to live
forever.
The rumors of our demise, it
turns out, are greatly
exaggerated. With God, the end
is the beginning.
Keep Time
In my non-liturgical church
tradition, a "church calendar" is
a list of youth group meetings
and members' birthdays, not an
ancient rhythm of days and
observances. But I've been
learning that many branches of
Christianity throughout the
centuries have used liturgical
time as a way of keeping
believers connected to the
realities of both life and death in
the faith.
Cycling through Advent,
Christmas, Epiphany, Lent,
Passiontide, Easter, Ascension,
Pentecost, and back through
"ordinary time" to Advent again,
Christians are reminded that
suffering is an expected part of
human life, and, more
important, that God is
constantly redeeming that
suffering through his
resurrection power. I'm just
beginning to discover how
helpful the church calendar can
be in correcting and realigning
my own expectations.
Lent, in particular, is a
fascinating season. A few years
ago, when I became aware that
some of my Anglican and
Catholic friends went through an
Continued on Page 8
Continued from page 7

Messenger
What's So Good About Good Friday Continued
annual ritual of giving up some
creature comfort for 40 days
every spring, I responded with
what I thought was a clever
line: "This year for Lent I'm
giving up self-control." My
friends would smile but
challenge me to give Lent a
serious try.
This year, in my desire to more
fully embrace Good Friday, I'm
observing my first Lenten
season. It's an experiment to
see if denying myself one small
but habitualized comfort (in my
case, a certain kind of food)
prepares my heart to more fully
enter into every part of Easter.
My Lent-experienced friends tell
me that disrupting even one
routine can expose the crutches
and illusions and substitutions
that keep us from authentically
participating in the life Christ
offers. Lent, they claim, can
facilitate a small death to self
that becomes an opening to
new life. I aim to see if they're
right.
Expect the Unexpected
Endings that are beginnings,
death that is life—God will
always confound our
expectations.
A couple years ago, during a
jubilant Easter service, our
pastor said something that
stopped me in my mental
tracks: "The world offers
promises full of emptiness. But
Easter offers emptiness full of
promise."
Empty cross, empty tomb,
empty grave-clothes … all full
of promise. If I were writing
the Easter story, I don't think
I'd choose emptiness as my
symbolic gesture. But then, I
also wouldn't be talking about
strength being made perfect in
weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9),
foolish things confounding the
wise (1 Corinthians 1:27), the
meek inheriting the earth
(Matthew 5:5), or the poor in
spirit getting (in every sense of
the word "get") the kingdom of
heaven (Matthew 5:3). And I
certainly wouldn't be talking
about dying in order to live.
What is it about God that
makes him so favor this kind of
paradox? I guess this is what
we should expect from the
Servant King—the God who
decided that the best way to
save the world was to let it kill
him. I don't understand the
way God thinks. But on those
days when I feel hollowed out
and broken—half-dead, even—
it makes me glad to remember
that for Easter people, even
death is full of promise.
The world makes a lot of
promises. Smoke and mirrors,
mostly. Frantic, cartoonish
attempts to distract us from the
gaping holes in the middle of
our souls (or to sell us the
latest product in order to fill
them). There's no life in those
promises.
So I'm hoping that this Lenten
season, I'll be a little more
willing to die to that stuff. I'm
praying I'll become more aware
of the empty space within, and
that I'll resist the urge to fill it
with any old thing I can find.
I'm going to wait, carved out,
vulnerable, a cracked and
crumbling jar of clay, on a life
God's offered to deposit
anywhere there's room. I'm
going to believe that if I'll just
leave my empty spaces empty,
he'll fill them. That, I'm
convinced, is a reasonable
expectation.
I'm writing this article during
a particularly long Good Friday
season in my own life. My mom
is battling cancer, and I'd be
lying if I said I was able to
watch her suffer and "count it
all joy."
I pray for healing and hope
desperately it will come here on
earth. I ask all the questions
people have asked at the
bedsides of sick loved ones for
thousands of years. I vacillate
wildly between hope and
despair, faith and doubt,
openness and bitterness.
But I know that we do not
suffer alone, because the God
of the universe wore our skin
and died our death and
removed its sting forever. This
is no meager consolation. And
even when I'm desperately sad,
I look at my mom and I
remember: Without Good
Friday, there would be no
Easter morning. So I pray
through the night, and I wait
for the resurrection.
