Sermons and other recordings from St. Mary's Episcopal Church has been in downtown Eugene for over 150 years to worship, serve, and grow in faith. Guided by the teachings and life of Jesus Christ, we value community, inclusiveness, compassion, our living tradition, health, and collaborative leadership. All are welcome at St. Mary's, no matter what age, ethnicity or race, gender identity, sexual orientation or economic and social circumstances.
In today’s gospel Jesus is pronouncing blessings on unlikely people and
situations. They don’t really sound like blessings at all, do they? What is
Jesus trying to teach us here? Sometimes language gets in the way. Here’s
today passage from The Message by Eugene Peterson.

The Clarity of Love
Every Wednesday morning we have a Bible study here at St. Mary’s that
Deacon Nancy Crawford started […] This past Wednesday we were studying
today’s Gospel reading, and one of the comments absolutely struck me, it
charmed me. I have had it in my pocket all week, so it looks all beaten up
now. The prompt was what delights you, and the answer was: “it delighted me
that Jesus gave a straightforward answer to the question, which commandment
is the greatest.” How Jesus gave a straightforward answer. It is so true.

Minted in God’s Image
Together we celebrate these young people that are such a wonderful part of
our St. Mary’s community. This is an important milestone in young peoples’
lives. These years are a time of SO much change and growth, of learning,
struggling, and testing. We celebrate all the possibilities that mark this
journey to adulthood and this step of becoming a teenager. We acknowledge
that it can be tough, very tough. Tough for teens, and tough for those who
parent them. Tough when young people want to push back and try to make
their own way to figure out who they are. And tough for those who parent,
who want to set limits and keep them safe AND give them space and help them
discover who they are. This can be a time of loss AND new life, AND a
battle of wills! And so, we acknowledge all of the mess and beauty and
potential, and we remind ourselves that others have been here before and
made it through, that we don’t do it alone, that God is with us every step
of the way.
