I've put up the weekly post (link in profile) for Trinity 24 (so many beautiful lives this week, especially St. Martin, St. Margaret, and St. Hugh). "O Lord, we beseech thee, absolve thy people from their offences; that through thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those sins, which by our frailty we have committed. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.”
Prayer for Joy in God's Creation: "O heavenly Father, who has the filled the world with beauty; Open, we beseech there, our eyes to behold thy gracious hand in all thy works; that rejoicing in thy whole creation, we may learn to serve thee with gladness; for the sake of him by whom all things were made, thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
If you'd like to know more about The Homely Hours and our background, check out the interview just posted on Rachael Lopez's blog (of @alivetradition). I (Amanda) met Rachael here on IG and we have had some really interesting conversations about Anglicanism, liturgy and church history. Rachael lives in Melbourne, Australia and is committed to the New Monasticism. A few years ago, she and her husband were part of the Community of St. Anselm at Lambeth Palace in London! While I sometimes struggle with the place of social media, I'm always thankful for the way it makes these kind of connections possible!
For the 23rd Sunday of Trinity (weekly post link in profile): "O God, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all godliness; be ready, we beseech thee, to hear the devout prayers of thy Church; and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
This morning, we had quite the crowd over for our house blessing. I love house blessings so much -- attending to the purpose of each room in the house (even the bathrooms!) and praying that they would be used well for the glory and love of God. It reminds me of the promise in Zechariah that even the pots and the pans will be "holy to the Lord."
"Some kind of procession was approaching us, and the light came from the persons who composed it. . . only partly do I remember the unbearable beauty of her face.⁣ ⁣ ‘Is it? . . . is it?’ I whispered to my guide.⁣ ⁣ ‘Not at all,’ said he. ‘It’s someone ye’ll never have heard of. Her name on Earth was Sarah Smith and she lived at Golders Green.’⁣ ⁣ ‘She seems to be . . . well, a person of particular importance?’⁣ ⁣ ‘Aye. She is one of the great ones. Ye have heard that fame in this country and fame on Earth are two quite different things. . . ‘⁣ ⁣ ‘And who are all these young men and women on each side?’⁣ ⁣ ‘They are her sons and daughters.’⁣ ⁣ ‘She must have had a very large family, sir.’⁣ ⁣ ‘Every young man or boy that met her became her son --- even if it was only the boy that brought the meat to her back door. Every girl that met her was her daughter.’⁣ ⁣ ‘Isn’t that a bit hard on their own parents?’⁣ ⁣ ‘No. There are those who steal other people’s children. But her motherhood was of a different kind. Those on whom it fell went back to their natural parents loving them more. Few men looked on her without becoming, in a certain fashion, her lovers. But it was the kind of love that made them not less true, but truer, to their own wives.’⁣ ⁣ ‘What are all these animals?. . .’⁣ ⁣ ‘Every beast and bird that came near her had its place in her love. In her they became themselves. And now the abundance of life she has in Christ from the Father flows over into them.’⁣ ⁣ I looked at my Teacher in amazement.⁣ ⁣ . . . ‘Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.’ ”⁣ ⁣ C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
It seems appropriate, as we are preparing for All Saints', to think about how we can follow along with the saints, all the year. So, we have a new post where I've interviewed Fr. Brian Foos, who creates the Anglican Ordo Calendar I use for our weekly post (link in profile). An Ordo Calendar – for those of us new to a liturgical tradition – is a calendar that shows the “order” of the year, with all the saints days included.The 2019 Calendar will be shipped out next month!
All the Gerard Manley Hopkins today... "The world is charged with the grandeur of God..." and "He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change. Praise Him." #godsgrandeur #piedbeauty
We've published the weekly post for the 22nd Sunday After Trinity (link in bio): "Lord, we beseech thee to keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in good works, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
We've put together a new resource for your family: "Welcoming the Saints: Preparing for All Saints' Day with Young Children." It's daily readings for the week before All Saints' (so, starting tomorrow). Download it through the link in our profile. . An excerpt: "You may think that to be a saint, you have to be big and do big things for God. This is not true. You need to do the same things that all of us followers of Christ are trying to do – whether we are old or young, big or small. We are trying to 'do small things with great love. . That is what Mother Teresa, a saint who worked with the poorest people you can think of in Calcutta, India, told us to do. She also said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” When we love each other, when we share and serve and honor one another, we change the world. We live like saints, even in our family, in our home."

Collect for Trinity 20

“O Almighty and most merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep us, we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us that we, being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish those things which thou commandest; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
