"There is such a thing as the momentary power to remember that we forget.
"And the most ignorant of humanity know by the very look of the earth that they have forgotten heaven."
—G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man

Троицкое славасловие
Джеффри Мосс
Благословен Отец Святой,
жизнь моя и хваленье!
Благословен Иисус Господь,
крепость моя и спасенье!
Благословен Всесильный Дух,
животворец Воскресенья!
Слава Отцу, и Сына прославьте,
и Духу хвала, песнопенье!

All Saints' Day
How appropriate for Protestants that All Saints' Day (Nov. 1) is the day immediately following Reformation Day (Oct. 31)! On Reformation Day we remember the courage of the German monk Martin Luther in speaking out for Truth against the abuses of the church hierarchy. However, the reforming voices of Luther and those like him occasioned a split in the Church that has not been healed to this day. It is good, then, to turn our hearts and minds to the whole Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and think today about all those throughout history whom He has made holy by grace. By His glorious Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, Christ is renewing the world. One day "every knee will bow...and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
