Many of the twentieth centuryโ€™s biggest stars practiced and proselytized it. But does anyone really understand it?

Good book.

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.

 

In 2019, humanity finally finds proof of extraterrestrial life when a listening post in Puerto Rico picks up exquisite singing from a planet that will come to be known as Rakhat. While United Nations diplomats endlessly debate a possible first contact mission, the Society of Jesus quietly organizes an eight-person scientific expedition of its own. What the Jesuits find is a world so beyond comprehension that it will lead them to question what it means to be "human".

The Problem of Evil got pretty bad.

We are walking forward into the future.

Step by step, returning home.

Eyes open. No fear.

Stay in the light. Keep smiling.

Prayer is powerful.

Peace comes from within.

 

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven,

Hallowed by Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done,

on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power & the Glory,

Forever & Ever, Amen.

Psalm 91: Prayer of Protection

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

A prayer from the tomb of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes at Southwark Cathedral, London.

 

Thou, O Lord, art the Helper of the helpless,

the Hope of the Hopeless,

the Saviour of them who are tossed with the tempests,

the Haven of them who sail; be thou all to all.

The glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us,

prosper thou the work of our hands upon us,

Oh! prosper thou our handiwork.

Lord, be thou within us, to strengthen us;

without us to keep us; above us to protect us;

beneath us to uphold us; before us to direct us;

behind us to keep us from straying;

round about us to defend us.

 

Blessed be Thou, O Lord our Father, for ever and ever.

 

"Lancelot Andrewes was a bishop and scholar who played a key role in the translation of the Authorised Version or King James Version of the Bible. Although he worked mainly through the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I successively, he is counted as one of the early Caroline Divines, known for their scholarship and devotional writings."
