Generalen (Xabi Alonso) har lämnat och om man ska tro ryktesfloran står nu skattkistan i Leverkusen öppen för plundring. Spelare som Frimpong, Wirtz, Tah och Boniface ryktes flitigt till storklubbar runt om i Europa men vem hamnar egentligen var? Vi pratar om Arsenals jakt på Gyökeres, Rodrygos missnöje i Madrid, gissar fel om Delap och ställer oss frågande till statusen på Milans ifrågasatta besättning. Med: Patrik Syk och Makoto Asahara

1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est. 2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat. 3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest fere fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis. 5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere. 6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis.After a stormy youth, Boniface was converted to the Catholic faith, suffered numerous tortures and was beheaded A.D. 307.

With over 30 years of riding experience and 18 years as an instructor, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and heart to her work. After a successful run in dressage, show jumping, and eventing at the state level, she shifted her focus from competition to connection. Through her riding school, Equestrian Spirit, Katie helps riders build deeper, more meaningful partnerships with their horses—grounded in trust, biomechanics, and mutual respect. Her mission is to guide riders in seeing their horses as equals and companions on a journey of growth and self-discovery.Here's the free webinar mentioned: https://www.equestrianspirit.com.au/sayyesFrom Katie:"I have been a horse rider for 30 years and a riding instructor for 18 finding my passion as a teacher in a riding school environment. From childhood through to my early 20's I competed successfully at shows, dressage, show jumping and eventing at state level. Having gotten my trophy and ribbon riding out of me when I was young riding became a spiritual practice for me, developing my connection to my self and others on a deeper level. What occurred to me is that you can't have a meaningful relationship with someone that doesn't want to be with you so I set about looking for ways to get my horse to enjoy being around me. At the same time I was also working with a couple of horses with soundness issues. Having being told that a horse would work soundly if you work it correctly I dug into the physiology of horse movement and how we as riders and trainers can best work our horses not only for soundness but also for suppleness, maximum range of movement and dare I say to look like they actually enjoyed being ridden!!And so triggered a profound reassessment of everything I had ever learnt to date about what it meant to be a horse rider, how I was riding and what my goal was from my training. I discovered the importance of the horses mental, emotional and physical health to not only its performance and success but also to its willingness as a participant in our partnership. And I learnt what it meant to have a true connection with the horse and an open 2 way conversation. It is my goal and mission in life to share these values with as many horse riders as I can so we can start to see our beautiful horses as equals, partners and part of our own life's journey to better understand ourselves through better understanding others."For more info, kindly visit:https://www.equestrianspirit.com.au/FB: https://www.facebook.com/katiebonifaceequestrianIG: https://www.instagram.com/equestrianspiritaustralia/~~~~~~~~~~Thanks so much for listening!  Please write a review if you're inspired!For Riding Instructors, please visit this support page: https://www.inspiredriding.com/support-for-riding-instructors

We have more federal election coverage, including how former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney shamed Liberal leader Mark Carney for defying a court decision that the 'No More Pipelines Law' was unconstitutional.Episode 16 starts with emails from concerned readers and listeners who believe we're on the right track in holding elected officials accountable. A reader of our March 30th Sun column about rampant theft from convenience stores was struck by the similarities between the decline of public safety in his town and in Winnipeg. "Living in Edmonton I see the tent cities, the gang tags, the addicts in the transit stations, the robberies, the stabbings and other violence... even when you do not see it in person you see it in the media." We ask why it's controversial to suggest the leaders from the cultural communities associated with the perps should do something, beside virtue signal, to uphold the social norm that no one has a right to walk out of a store with arms full of stolen goods just because they think they're somehow "oppressed".13.00- On Saturday a donor from St. Boniface sent a contribution to the Season Six Support campaign along with their comments about two matters.First you'll hear his observations about the federal election and the failure of the Liberal regime to improve the standard of living in our community. Then he added, "On a provincial level I am interested on what Premier Kinew thought about the protests outside Gray Academy last week. I am not Jewish but I found that protest and behaviour abhorrent.  Adults, some of them masked, yelling at staff, parents and children is completely unacceptable. How could anyone at City Hall have allowed a protest at that location? "That is exactly the topic of our important Sunday column in the Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg's Skokie moment: A disturbing rise in antisemitism. https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-winnipegs-skokie-moment-a-disturbing-rise-in-antisemitismWe add some background on the demonstration on April 1st by a mob of antisemites at the Jewish campus.24.30 Part 2- The rest of the local media has caught on to our report - ⁠ NDP Election Collapse Creating 2-Way Race⁠Why that's the case seemed to escape former provincial NDP cabinet minister Gord Mackintosh. We set him straight. Then a stern rebuke of Mark Carney was posted after he said he had⁠ no intention to repeal C-69⁠. "C-69 is *unconstitutional.* This is not optional, Mr. Carney."Jason Kenney exposed how Carney is willing to defy the Supreme Court to maintain his 'Net-Zero" globalist agenda. As Premier of Alberta, he proved the Liberal legislation was a completely illegal infringement on provincial rights. 35.30 - Independent journalists are being excluded from political rallies by by both the Carney and Poilievre campaigns. The singling out of Shadoe Davis by the CPC last week and then Caryma Sa'd by the Liberal campaign is an obstruction by the parties fearing the accountability process. @CarymaRules posted-The Mark Carney campaign has taken an anti-democratic stance by arbitrarily banning me from events, despite having no history of disruption or misconduct. “We know who you are.” And what exactly does that mean?With Carney pledging to throw another $150M to the CBC, which already gets over $800 per Canadian in subsidies, we need more voices asking more questions of politicians and bureaucrats.That's a good reason to take a moment this week to send a contribution to our funding drive and help us pay the freight to cover the federal election, the Legislature, and City Hall.*******COMMENTS/QUESTIONS/SPONSOR AND E-TRANSFER INQUIRIES:EMAIL MARTYGOLDLIVE@GMAIL.COM

St. Winebald's story is the final of the 6 saints from an English family who lived in the 700's. He was the son of St Wuna and St Richard of Wessex. And the nephew of St Boniface. He was the older brother to St. Willibald and sister St Valpurga. St Winebald studied to become a monk while in Rome and returned to England to recruit others back to Rome to dedicate their lives to God. But he eventually also became a priest and found himself in Germania helping his uncle St. Boniface, brother and sister with their missions there.

St Valpurga is the 5th of 6 saints from an English family who lived in the 700's. Daughter of Ss. Wuna and Richard of Wessex, niece of St. Boniface and sister of St.Winebald and St Willibald. St Valpurga due to the depth of her education is credited by some as the first female writer from England as well as Germany! She wrote what has been called the first ‘travel log' which consisted of the travels of her older brother St WillIebald on a pilgrimage to Christian shrines. St Valpurga helped her brother St Williebald found a double monastery, a community for both monks and nuns at Heidenheim. She headed the nuns there at the monastery and her eldest brother St Winebald became the head of the monks There are links, photos and more about this on my website.

A special Crime Courts and Public Safety update is the focus of Episode 10, after a week of criminals engaging in murder, random violence, brazen theft and drug and gun crimes. All this happened as Winnipeg still hasn't hired a new chief for the police service. Part 1- A brief roundup of recent podcast subjects including: - The spat between the Manitoba PC's and spurned candidate Susan Auch continues. She says the party made a bad situation worse by falsely claiming she hadn't filed required candidate paperwork.- A plank of PC leadership hopeful Wally Daudrich for a Port Nelson development got a boost from the LNG sector.- The spending problem and ballooning project costs at City Hall is nailed as "a disconnect between the electorate and those in power, allowing fiscal irresponsibility to persist unchecked" in a commentary by Winnipeg Sun publisher Kevin Klein.12.50 Part 2- Whether on a bus, walking downtown, or parking near the Children's Hospital, the people of Winnipeg are no longer safe. Without a chief of police in place, there's no coordinated strategy to make our streets safe again- although cops are making arrests including taxicab passengers and right outside the downtown headquarters. A common denominator in almost every case? A perp in breach of conditions or with outstanding warrants. 21.15- Night time violence on the streets of St. Boniface sent two women- including a 14 year old - to hospital. There was also two female seniors assaulted in a pair of downtown cases. Plus, two 16 year old boys are charged in a killing last weekend near Central Park. 28.00- Imaging racking up 68 charges all across the city.Stealing vehicles, fuel, purses, wallets, computers, booze, while victimizing church goers, music schools, a woman and her baby in a car, we discuss the one man crime wave finally tracked down by the cops, Travis Freddie Ducharme.32.30 - An eyewitness sent us an account of the crass behavior of opioid addicts at a St. Vital bar and grill. They noted how multiple crews responding to an overdose there could have been diverted from taking urgent calls for help from law-abiding citizens. Observing the overall situation, a woman online defended the efforts of police to apprehend violent criminals, writing "This place is terrible. There's no consideration for anybody's safety."We ask - Has your elected official spoken out lately? ******Saturday In the Winnipeg Sun:For years, a criminal racket used three properties on Lisgar Avenue to produce and distribute crack cocaine, with three more on Austin St. North also connected to the cartel. Court heard one of the homes saw over 150 people a day come to acquire drugs. After a forfeiture order, 21 new housing units owned and built by non-profit Purpose Construction will replace them in North Point Douglas. The Anhart Community Housing Society will develop the new homes, arrange financing, and with the help of the private investment sector will cover equity shortfalls through the Anhart Affordable Homes 2019 Limited Partnership.

Gerry Singer - who we interviewed last year - agrees a public inquiry would be able to probe just what was necessary, and call all the police and doctors involved to testify.Should parents and friends of mentally ill people in distress call police?

Tuesday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Walburga, 710-779; born in Devonshire, England, the daughter of a West Saxon Chieftain, and sister of Saints Willebald and Winebald; she was educated at Wimborne Monastery in Dorset, where she became a nun; she was later sent to Germany to help St. Boniface in his missionary work; she became Abbess of the double monastery at Heidenheim founded by her brother Winebald; on Winebald's death, she was appointed abbess of both monasteries by her brother Willebald, who was then bishop of Eichstadt; she remained the superior of both the men and women until her death Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 2/25/25 Gospel: Mark 9:30-37

Saint Willibald is the 4th of 6 saints from an English family who lived in the 700's. He was the son of St Wuna and Richard of Wessex, nephew of St. Boniface and brother to St Winebald and St Valpurga. It was Saint Willibald who miraculously recovered from a near-death experience at the age of 3. His parents, as a part of their prayers to God, pledged to place the child into Divine service as a monk should he survive. St Willibald experienced a miraculous cure and became a monk. At one point he was tasked to become a Bishop. Because he had a diplomatic nature, he successfully handled situations between various challenges from the different pressures of a pilgrim church in Eichstätt, Germania.  The church in Eichstätt ,under his guidance, thrived.

Super Eagles players had an incredible week across Europe!

A family near Wessex, England had 6 members who became saints, including this week's Saint, St. Boniface. They all lived at the same time period during the 700's.

Send us a textAfter spending six episodes covering the events happening in the Roman renegade states, we finally get to see what happened inside the walls of Constantinople. The 4th Crusaders had to elect an Emperor... the first Latin emperor in over 700 years. The choice was narrowed down between two leaders, Baldwin of Flanders and Boniface of Montferrat. The election created a rift between the two that would never mend. This episode follows the short lives of these two men before they meet their untimely deaths at the hands of their new enemies.The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comMusic by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comCheck out our 2nd Podcast: www.antecedors.com

On this episode, Patick is joined by Hayden Van Brewer to discuss the latest transfer rumours around Europe. They start with Garnacho leaving Manchester United and look at the best potential landing spots. Does he fit in better at Chelsea, or should Napoli make a serious run at him? Next comes Brian Brobbey, who has been linked with West Ham this January. Does he fit in well with Graham Potters system and what skillset would he bring? The conversation turns to Victor Boniface, who has an offer from Saudi side Al Nassr. Could he make a difference on a top European team instead? We finish up with Rayan Cherki being linked to Newcastle and Albert Gronbaek's move to Southampton.

Boniface shares the inspiration behind the book, the scriptural foundations of Marian consecration, and how it can bring healing to our lives. Highlights of this episode include: Marian Devotion: What does it mean to consecrate yourself to Jesus through Mary, and how is this devotion different from other spiritual practices? The 33-Day Journey: Learn about the intentional structure of the book and how each day builds upon the last, offering a transformative spiritual experience. Rewriting the Consecration Prayer: Fr. Boniface explains his decision to rewrite parts of the Marian consecration prayer, originally written by St. Louis de Montfort. Healing Through Mary: How does Mary's intercession bring healing to the wounded areas of our lives? Audience Questions Answered: How to connect with Mary when your own mother has been unreliable? Feeling unworthy of consecration—what to do when you think you're “not good enough”? How to reconcile the tension of relating to Mary's perfection when we are imperfect? Fr.

Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Advent (Christmas Eve) Saint of the Day: St. Adele; became a nun on the death of her husband; founded a convent near Trier, and became its first abbess; she ruled with prudence, holiness, and compassion; Adele was a disciple of St. Boniface, the Apostle of Germany; she died in 730 A.D.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Third Week of Advent Lectionary: 197The Saint of the day is Saint Peter CanisiusSaint Peter Canisius' Story The energetic life of Peter Canisius should demolish any stereotypes we may have of the life of a saint as dull or routine. Peter lived his 76 years at a pace which must be considered heroic, even in our time of rapid change. A man blessed with many talents, Peter is an excellent example of the scriptural man who develops his talents for the sake of the Lord's work. Peter was one of the most important figures in the Catholic Reformation in Germany. He played such a key role that he has often been called the “second apostle of Germany,” in that his life parallels the earlier work of Boniface. Although Peter once accused himself of idleness in his youth, he could not have been idle too long, for at the age of 19 he received a master's degree from the university at Cologne. Soon afterwards he met Peter Faber, the first disciple of Ignatius of Loyola, who influenced Peter so much that he joined the recently formed Society of Jesus. At this early age Peter had already taken up a practice he continued throughout his life—a process of study, reflection, prayer, and writing. After his ordination in 1546, he became widely known for his editions of the writings of St. Cyril of Alexandria and St. Leo the Great. Besides this reflective literary bent, Peter had a zeal for the apostolate. He could often be found visiting the sick or imprisoned, even when his assigned duties in other areas were more than enough to keep most people fully occupied. In 1547, Peter attended several sessions of the Council of Trent, whose decrees he was later assigned to implement. After a brief teaching assignment at the Jesuit college at Messina, Peter was entrusted with the mission to Germany—from that point on his life's work. He taught in several universities and was instrumental in establishing many colleges and seminaries. He wrote a catechism that explained the Catholic faith in a way that common people could understand—a great need of that age. Renowned as a popular preacher, Peter packed churches with those eager to hear his eloquent proclamation of the gospel. He had great diplomatic ability, often serving as a reconciler between disputing factions. In his letters—filling eight volumes—one finds words of wisdom and counsel to people in all walks of life. At times he wrote unprecedented letters of criticism to leaders of the Church—yet always in the context of a loving, sympathetic concern. At 70, Peter suffered a paralytic seizure, but he continued to preach and write with the aid of a secretary, until his death in his hometown of Nijmegen, Netherlands, on December 21, 1597. Reflection Peter's untiring efforts are an apt example for those involved in the renewal of the Church or the growth of moral consciousness in business or government. He is regarded as one of the creators of the Catholic press, and can easily be a model for the Christian author or journalist. Teachers can see in his life a passion for the transmission of truth. Whether we have much to give, as Peter Canisius did, or whether we have only a little to give, as did the poor widow in the Gospel of Luke (see Luke 21:1–4), the important thing is to give our all. It is in this way that Peter is so exemplary for Christians in an age of rapid change when we are called to be in the world but not of the world.

He lived in Rome during the reign of Diocletian. He was slave to Aglais, the daughter of a Senator, and served as steward of her household and her large fortune. He also lived in fornication with her, and was addicted to drink. Despite these sins, he was kind, hospitable to strangers, and generous toward the needy.   In time, Aglais became troubled in her conscience over her way of life, and began to think of the account that she would have to give to God for her sins. Some Christians told her of the holy Martyrs and, moved by their accounts, she ordered Boniface to travel to Tarsus and bring back relics of these holy ones. Boniface, still deaf and blind to the things of God, said jokingly, "And will you honor me as a Saint if I bring back my own body to you as a relic?"   Boniface traveled to Tarsus with a large escort, well supplied with gold. He went straightaway to the Amphitheater, where he beheld a number of Martyrs being subjected to awful torments for the pleasure of the crowd, but bearing them all with patience and serenity. At the sight, the dissolute steward was touched by grace and felt his heart melt within him. He ran to the Martyrs, fell at their feet and kissed their chains, and loudly declared that he too was a disciple of Christ. So he too was put in chains, subjected to frightful tortures, and finally beheaded, rejoicing and praising God.   Boniface's escort, mystified by his long absence, made inquiries and were astonished to discover that their godless and sinful companion had met a Martyr's death the day before. They paid fifty pounds in gold for his body and brought it back to Rome, thus fulfilling Boniface's own unwitting prophecy.   An angel of the Lord appeared to Aglais and said, "Arise and go to meet him who was once your servant and companion in sin, but has now become our brother. Receive him as your master for, thanks to him, all your sins are to be forgiven." Rejoicing, Aglais received her former lover's holy relics and built a church in his honor, where many miracles were wrought. Aglais gave away her fortune, devoted herself to ascesis and prayer, and was herself granted the grace to work miracles. She reposed in peace thirteen years later, assured that the sins of her past had been effaced through the intercessions of the holy Boniface.

  Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2E71 All Saints Day 11:00 a.m. Baptism Sunday 3 November 2024 Daniel 12:1-3 Psalm 24 Revelation 21:1-6a John 11:32-44 “See I am making all things new… I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end” (Rev. 21). 1. In three days there will be an election. We have heard about authoritarianism and the Deep State, that this might be the last election we will ever have. We have been told that the United States Department of Justice will seek retribution against political enemies, that doctors will be prosecuted for performing health procedures like abortions or gender transition therapies, that our own armies will be deployed against regular American citizens. We are afraid that our marriages will be declared invalid and that we will be singled out for persecution.   Candidates have said that America's domestic enemies are more dangerous than our foreign ones. News broadcasters have told us that rather than protecting us from foreign dictators our political leaders admire them. We see signs that the meager efforts we are making to slow down climate change and species extinction may be undone. We have been told that the elections cannot be trusted, that immigrants are in some way unseen threats. We are reminded that the person we choose will alone have power to destroy life on earth by launching nuclear weapons.   There is so much more I could say about this but I don't need to because we are all getting five text messages a day from politicians who act as if they know us, who talk as if they alone can save us.   In 1965, 70% of Americans said that religion is very important. In our time 45% of Americans agree with this statement. [i] Some may say that we are becoming less spiritual as a society. But one might argue instead that we are less likely to express our spirituality through religious institutions and more likely to invest other parts of our life with ultimate value.   The sociologist Max Weber (1865-1920) had a theory that the evolution of religious life has led us in the modern world to have seven “value spheres” that at times compete with each other. These include: religion, family, politics, economics, art, science and eroticism. Some thinkers today believe that as people participate less in religion they invest spiritual meaning in other spheres, particularly politics.   Philip Gorski writes, “the most important form of sacrality today is arguably “the political.” For the populist right, the sacred is most often “the nation,” or ”Christian nation” or “Hindu Civilization.” For the progressive left, the sacred is more often democracy or social justice... [N]ation and state, party and ideology, race and identity, have become sacred objects of devotion for many.” [ii]   Many of our most secular friends have become missionaries writing letters and visiting distant places trying to inspire people to vote. This makes sense since the political sphere has tremendous power to control taxation, wage nuclear war, curtail climate change, preserve democracy and balance inconceivable levels of wealth inequality.   2. In the time of Jesus the Romans mercilessly demanded that subject peoples worship the emperor as a god. The situation seemed hopeless. But according to the Gospel of John, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” John goes on, “the true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him… but to all who received him he gave power to become children of God” (Jn. 1). This light which shone in Jesus still shines today.   The purpose of the Gospel of John is to draw us into a new world, into life in God. He writes about seven signs. The first happens when Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. And the last occurs when Jesus returns to enemy territory in order to bring his friend Lazarus back from the dead.   Jesus narrowly escapes being stoned to death in Judea for saying that, “The Father and I are one” (Jn. 10). Then he gets a message from two sisters that “the one you love is ill.” Jesus' friends can hardly believe it when he tells them that he is going back to the place where he was almost killed. The name Lazarus means “God is my help.” Jesus feels so deeply moved by the grief of Lazarus' sisters Martha and Mary that he himself weeps. Jesus knows that bringing his friend back to life will lead to his own death. And this is exactly what happens. Later, the authorities reason that Jesus must die because by raising the dead he will inspire the masses who will then provoke the Romans to destroy the temple and their whole culture. High Priest Caiaphas says, “it is better to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed” (Jn. 11).   The pivotal moment occurs when Jesus says to Martha, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” The point of this is not that Martha's believing has anything to do with her brother coming back to life. It is that Martha's faith will help her to see the action of God that is already happening in Jesus.   3. And this is how faith is. We trust in God first and then we come to see the world in a completely new way. St. Augustine (354-430) was an African saint born in the fourth century. He calls this faith seeking understanding. We say yes and give our hearts to God. And then God opens our lives to the divine mystery.   St. Augustine helps me to understand these elections and Jesus' invitation into a deeper reality. In 410 Rome was sacked. Pagans argued that this defeat happened because the gods were punishing the Romans for converting to Christianity. [iii] In response Augustine wrote his book The City of God.   In it Augustine describes two cities the earthly city and the city of God. These are not distinguished by jurisdiction or location. One is not on earth and the other in the skies. Instead, they are two fundamentally different ways of organizing human community. They are distinguished by their love. The earthly city revolves around love of self, the lust for power and domination.   The city of God is characterized by love of God and neighbor. Because God values human freedom we find ourselves in a shared territory that is occupied by citizens of both cities. Now is not a time for separating the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats. We will not experience perfect justice, peace, goodness or beauty in this life. Politicians will always let us down.   In 418 Augustine puts this in another way when he writes to Boniface, the Roman general in charge of North Africa. Boniface wants to impose Christian practices with the sword. Augustine disagrees and writes, “We ought not to want to live ahead of time with only the saints and the righteous.” [iv] In other words we should not imagine that we will achieve the ideal in this world. Politics is the way that we live in the time we have now. We should expect disagreement, compromise, debate and be patient with those who disagree with us. The message is simple on All Saint's Day in San Francisco let politics have its place. But it should never become our god. Regardless of who is elected, our God is on the throne. Jesus, through his life and death ushers us into another reality. That light shines through our darkness.   Last week after church I had lunch with our former bishop Bill Swing and Cricket Jones the wife of our longtime dean Alan Jones. Alan died in January and the three of us still look visibly upset when we talk about him together. Hesitantly I asked the two about their most powerful memories of Alan and Cricket's wedding which took place in France at Chartres Cathedral.   Bishop Swing talked about drawers of vestments from the sixteenth century. Then Cricket described a moment from the service. She and Alan were perched on little chairs in front of the high altar. And as the bishop was going through the prayers she felt as if her little chair rose up into the air by four or five inches. And then she had a sense that all the saints who had ever been there were present with them. In her mind's eye she could see them standing all around the apse on each other's shoulders with such deep love. [v]   In three days there will be an election. But as we baptize children into the new life of Christ may the ones we love and all the saints be present with us. Let us have eyes to see that God is making all things new. [i] “Forty-five percent of Americans say religion is "very important" in their life, with another 26% saying it is "fairly important" and 28% saying it's "not very important." When Gallup first asked this question in 1965, 70% said religion was very important. That fell to 52% in a 1978 survey, but the percentage ticked up to nearly 60% between 1990 and 2005. Over the past 20 years, a declining share of Americans have said religion is important, dropping below 50% for the first time in 2019.” From, “How Religious Are Americans,” Gallup News, 29 March 2024. https://news.gallup.com/poll/358364/religious-americans.aspx [ii] Robert Gorski, “Disenchantment of the World” or Fragmentation of the Sacred,” in Robert N. Bellah, Challenging Modernity (NY: Columbia University Press, 2024) 319. [iii] In his book The City of God Augustine writes that rather than the gods protecting Rome, Rome protected her gods. [iv] “At the heart of Augustine's political wisdom is an awareness of what time it is. Late in his life, he counseled Boniface, a Roman general governing the precinct of Africa. In a letter from 418, Augustine addresses Boniface's frustrations with uprisings and incursions by those who despise the Christian faith. Boniface thinks he knows what the kingdom of God is supposed to look like, and he's tempted to impose it—to make the kingdom come. Augustine cautions the impatient ruler: “We ought not to want to live ahead of time with only the saints and the righteous.” Trying to “live ahead of time” means imagining we can achieve some ideal embodiment of justice—whether it's utopia or the kingdom—by imposing our will. Politics, Augustine counsels, demands patience. Politics is the art of forging a life together in the now. The institutions of our republic and the practices of democracy are eroded precisely when we imagine that we can live ahead of time. Political liberalism is accumulated wisdom about how not to live ahead of time.” James K. A. Smith, “Wisdom from Augustine in an Election Year,” The Christian Century, November 2024. https://www.christiancentury.org/features/wisdom-augustine-election-year?check_logged_in=1 [v] The novelist Susanna Clarke in an interview with the New York Times says, ““I feel very strongly that if you could see the world as it really is, if you could get further beyond your ego and the sorts of ways in which we trap ourselves, if you could just see the world beyond, every moment would be miraculous.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/books/susanna-clarke-strange-norrell-sequel-interview.html?campaign_id=69&emc=edit_bk_20241101&instance_id=138448&nl=books®i_id=13508633&segment_id=181999&user_id=f284507f51aad420f13c2727d615ae11
