A novice asked a sage, How can I let go and enjoy life? Your life is not your own, he said. It belongs to God. And the light went on.
When Things feel too overwhelming, remember: One Day at a time, One Thought at a time, One Moment at a time, and One Task at a time.
Today, I pray that God heals every person that is living in pain. Amen
I am not lucky. I’M BLESSED. Begin each day with a grateful heart. Everything I have is because of GOD’S GRACE. AMEN!

May 4th - 3rd Sunday of Easter, Year C
Readings - Acts 9:1-6(7-20) , Psalm 30
Second Reading - Revelations 5:11-14, Gospel - John 21:1-19
The disciples make a big splash and eat breakfast with the risen Jesus. Wading in the water (remembering baptism) and eating with Jesus (celebrating holy communion) is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ. Jesus asks us again and again: Do you love me? And Jesus invites us, again and again, to follow him, bringing the Easter life to others.
May 11th - 4th Sunday of Easter, Year C
Readings - Acts 9:36-43 , Psalm 23
Second Reading - Revelations 7:9-17, Gospel - John 10:22-30
The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
May 18th- 5th Sunday of Easter , Year C
Readings - Acts 11:1-18 , Psalm 148
Second Reading - Revelations 21:1-6, Gospel - John 13:31-35
Easter initiates a new day. It anticipates a new heaven and a new earth. The risen Christ is making all things new. In the mystery of holy baptism God has made new people of us. Today Jesus invites us to see everyone in a new light—through the lens of love.
May 25th - 6th Sunday of Easter, Year C
Readings - Acts 16:9-15 , Psalm 67
Second Reading - Revelations 21: 10, 22-22.5, Gospel - John 14:23-29
Visions abound in the readings for the sixth Sunday of Easter. Paul has a vision about what to do. John has a vision of what will be. Jesus provides visions of peace that surpasses human understanding and power beyond human imagination.
June 1st - 7th Sunday of Easter, Year C
Readings - Acts 16:16-34 , Psalm 97
Second Reading - Revelations 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21,
Gospel - John 17:20-26
It is possible to hear in Jesus’ high priestly prayer, a prayer he offered shortly before his death, the petitions of the ascended Christ for his own throughout history—to our day—and beyond. Jesus prays for us. In holy baptism we become believers in God, have our robes washed in the flood of Christ’s forgiveness, and receive the gift of life forever with all the saints.
June 8th- Day of Pentecost, Year C
Readings - Acts 2:1-21 , Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
Second Reading - Romans 8:14-17, Gospel - John 14:8-17 (25-27)
On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate to accompany us. Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with the Spirit of truth, we go out from worship to proclaim the saving power of Christ’s love and the freedom of God’s grace with all the world.
Our Bishops:
The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel, Episcopal Dioscese of Utah and
The Rev. Meghan Johnston Aelabouni of the Rocky Mountain Synod.
Welcome to God’s table of grace
