Building tabernacles, just like Peter

by chuckofish

I thought this post by a fellow Episcopalian regarding the fire at Notre Dame was really on point. Read the whole thing.

“We want to build our devotion and then we love what we have built: but faith is not a building. St. Peter was vetoed when he tried to build those tabernacles, but he helped build a place for Grace to the world that fully lives after he is long dead. What 2,000 years has built will still be there tomorrow after every devastation because we did not make it: God did.”

“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” (Julian of Norwich)

He said not:

thou shalt not be troubled,

thou shalt not be tempted,

thou shalt not be distressed,

but He said:

thou shalt not be overcome.

–Julian of Norwich

On top of Mount Pisgah

Daughter #2 is safely in Maryland, unloaded and unpacking. The boy has returned to our flyover home state. And Kermit has found a new home on a bookshelf.

“…All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
