BARKING GLAD: February 2015
http://rogref.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Second Sunday in Lent. March 1 . 160; . Second Sunday in Lent. Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16; Romans 13-25; Mark 8:31-38*. The Lectionary offers as an alternative gospel passage, Mark 9:2-9, relating to the Transfiguration, without suggesting any alternative Lessons to go with it. . There may be some advantages in having the Transfiguration a week after the Baptism, but I have never found them particularly convincing. . So when Paul waxes ...

BARKING GLAD: June 2015
http://rogref.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. June 28 . Lamentations 3:22-33; 2 Corinthians 8:7-15; Mark 5:21-43. The gospel brought to mind an old saying, "Where's there's life, there's hope"; from which we might get a good idea for our theme this week. . I suggest "Where there's Christ there's Hope". . Or "Where there's God there's Hope" might be preferred to more easily encompass the first lesson as well. . St Paul is more difficult this week: it depends how frank we want to be. . I have commente...

BARKING GLAD: September 2014
http://rogref.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. September 28 . Ezekiel 18:1-4, 25-32; Philippians 2:1-13; Matthew 21:23-32. Not as clear as it might be this week. . Try as I might, I can't quite see in what way the passage from Ezekiel is "related" to the gospel passage. . Come to that I struggle a bit with the relationship between the first part and the second part of the passage from Ezekiel. . From this lesson, I would go for "The Interests of Others". . If you subscribe to the Dioc...

BARKING GLAD: Notes for Reflection
http://rogref.blogspot.com/2015/08/notes-for-reflection.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. August 9 . 1 Kings 19:4-8*; Ephesians 4:25-5:2; John 6:35, 41-51. I suggest including verse 9a. . It sharpens up the ending of this passage, and brings to mind the famous encounter between Elijah and God.]. The word that screams out to me this week is "life", so any variation around that word would give a reasonable theme: "The Bread of Life"; "The Gift of Life"; . Life in Christ"; or "Eternal Life", are obvious possibilities. . In fact, I'm no...

We might need to remind ourselves that it is still Christmas – at least, liturgically! We begin again with Isaiah, even though his "dismissal" of ...

St John the Evangelist, Waikouaiti: Notes for Reflection
http://stjohnwaik.blogspot.com/2014/08/notes-for-reflection_28.html
St John the Evangelist, Waikouaiti. Sunday Services: 10.00am 2nd and 3rd Sundays of month; Priest Enabler: Rev Juan Kinnear; For more details contact: Jude 465 7146. St John the Evangelist. Thursday, 28 August 2014. August 31 . Jeremiah 15:15-21; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 16: 21-28. It's hard to go past the gospel passage for a theme this week. . So perhaps something like "The Cross, Already". . No, perhaps not. . Perhaps to prepare me for the gospel passage where we are jo...

St John the Evangelist, Waikouaiti: March 2014
http://stjohnwaik.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Alternatively, The Lectionary offers a choice of readings for Mothering Sunday, as if anyone would seriously chose something other than these wonderful readings set for the Day. The difficulty faced...

BARKING GLAD: Notes for Reflection
http://rogref.blogspot.com/2015/07/notes-for-reflection_23.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. July 26 . 2 Kings 4:42-44; Ephesians 3:14-21; John 6:1-21. I'm tempted to suggest "There is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch" – or perhaps a more adult sounding version would be "The Economy of God". . Other variants that suggest themselves are "With God there is Always More than Enough", or simply "The Extravagance of God". . St Paul offers a rich range of possibilities, my choice being "The Power at Work Within Us". . I'm having issues with "Second Chanc...
