Easter Day - Year B
March 31st, 2024
by The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer
If Mark’s gospel ends with the empty tomb, we are left with a terrifying reminder that our implicit pact with death is at an end. What we have is a God of life who overthrows almost everything we think we know about the world, creation, and the divine activity at work in our midst.

The Fifth Sunday in Lent - Year B
March 17th, 2024
by The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer

February 25th, 2024
by The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer
While in Mark, Jesus tells his followers to remain quiet about so much, he openly declares his teachings about the cross to the crowds.
