Love

Happy Halloween, Beloveds!

Here we are in these days where the veil is thin, where we are closest to those who have crossed over to the other side. We recognize those saints of the church and the saints of our lives. Lives organized around love.

In the Gospel of Matthew 22:34-40, Jesus responds to the law question of a Pharisee. He says, “‘You shall love the Sovereign your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Easier said than done. Especially in these days of discord and anxiety.

As we close out the “Do Unto Others” series, the subtheme is “Malice Toward None: Love”. It seems fitting as we recognize All Saints Day and move toward Election Day. I invite you to bring a friend at 10 am Sunday as we center ourselves on Balclutha, Zoom, and Livestream.

Love and go out and love some more,
Rev. Michael Cronin

P.S. I will be available to Zoom chat, FaceTime, or call on Tuesday should you feel the need for an ear and/or a prayer.
