At Home with the Lectionary

Year C, Proper 13

Send us a text

Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for Proper 13, the Sunday between 7/31-8/6: Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:11; Psalm 49:1-12 (13-21); Colossians 3:5-17; Luke 12:13-21.

They discuss the ephemeral nature of wealth, the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, the transforming work of Christ, and Jesus' invitation to generosity.

Notes:

Aaron notes: "I have enjoyed this book so far, but it focuses on only one aspect of Ecclesiastes—keeping death in mind. I want everyone to hear that Ecclesiastes has so much more to offer than simply that." Living Life backward: How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us to Live in Light of the End, by: David Gibson

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
