C. S. Lewis Quote:
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
-- Weight of Glory, "Is Theology Poetry?"
(based on Lectionary Lessons)
Cross: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. -- 1 Peter 1:3-9
Invitatory: O God of searing truth and surpassing beauty, we give you thanks for Clive Staples Lewis whose sanctified imagination lights fires of faith in young and old alike; Surprise us also with your joy and draw us into that new and abundant life which is ours in Christ Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Cruciform: O LORD, you have searched me and known me. -- Psalm 139:1
Week 1: You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.
Week 2: You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Week 3: Even before a word is on my tongue, O LORD, you know it completely.
Week 4: You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
Week 5: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.
Week 6: Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?
Week 7: If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. -- Psalm 139:2-8
Final Cross: Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned. ‘I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. -- John 16:7-15
