数日遅れですが… この前の日曜日は、ペンテコステでした。


 教会暦カレンダーの今月のページの絵は、Jan RichardsonのSalted with Fireという絵。




Blessing of Salt and Fire



And so, in this season,
may we give ourselves
to the fire
that shows us
what is elemental
and sacramental,
that reveals what remains
after all that does not have
substance or savor
falls away.
May we turn
our eyes
our ears
our hands
to the beauty
for which we were formed
and bear with grace
the patterns
that blossom upon us
who live salted
and singed.
(Jan Richardson)

ちなみに、Jan Richardsonは、アーティスト兼作家兼ミニスターで、Painted Prayer Bookという素敵なブログを書いています。
