Hosanna

April 05, 2022/ Elsa Worth
Hosanna

The Palm Sunday story in Luke does not mention branches at all. Instead, the people spread cloaks on the road in front of Jesus as he rides into Jerusalem on a young colt.

Authority

December 20, 2021/ Elsa Worth

We pray for those in authority because power can so easily corrupt and one’s highest ideals can so easily take a back seat.

Hunger

November 01, 2021/ Elsa Worth

Who is prevented?

April 26, 2021/ Elsa Worth

Please note: I rarely write directly about current political issues in this blog. Today is an exception, in case you’d rather not go there.

Meek and Mild

March 01, 2021/ Elsa Worth

There are so many stories in the gospels about Jesus being rather harsh, I’m surprised that the prevalent view of Jesus as meek and mild persists!
