St. Andrew’s eNews

February 27, 2024

Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Therefore, lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Pursue peace with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.                    ~Hebrews 12:11-14

Fun Facts: Who would you vote for?

Adomnan, a 7th cent. monk at Iona, promoted his Law, AKA Cain Adomnain, AKA the Law of Innocents, which took root throughout Ireland. The law exempted women, children, and clerics from going to battle. It’s widely credited with making medieval warfare more humane. Or at least less monstrous. This was the first agreement of its kind, and some have called it an ancient Geneva Accords.

OR

Joseph Vaz, a 17th cent. Catholic priest, was the first non-European missionary to Sri Lanka. He went door to door, begging for his living, getting to know the local Catholics and their languages, and performing the sacraments in secret. 

Winners are posted by the water cooler. Take a cool drink, see how the bracket is shaping up,  then take a look at the website and read more about some of the saints.

Centering Prayer

Tuesday at 2:00

Choose a sacred word. Sit comfortably and settle in. Return ever-so-gently to the sacred word. Remain in silence.
