Weekend Daybook: All the Saints Follow the Lamb
All Saints Day arrives in the church calendar right about the time our fickle memories begin to forget such manner of keeping time even exists. Advent still a few weeks away, these two feast days invite us to begin remembering again.
If the Church year provides us a pathway through the life (and death and life again) of Jesus, then the Feast of All Saints reminds us we do not travel alone.
Look: The Ghent Altarpiece (Adoration of the Mystic Lamb), Hubert Van Eyck and Jan Van Eyck
Sunday Scripture readings are taken from the Revised Common Lectionary (Year C). Daily Scripture readings are taken from the Book of Common Prayer (Year 1) with the Psalm for the Morning Office.
Pray:
Do: Read Malcolm Guite’s sonnet: All Saints.
