The Sins of the World
By Angela Eichhorst ’22. Angela is a freshman living in Canaday.
But then in these moments of confession when I had nothing to confess, what was I meant to pray? A small voice within in me cried out “Lord, I am sorry for the sins of the world.” Maybe sin is more unknown than we would believe.
Blessed Are Those Who Have Mercy
By John Daoud, MY ‘21. John is majoring in Near Eastern Studies.
“Blessed are those who have mercy
Who give to the poor and fast and pray
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts
The Son will show them mercy on judgement day”
Fortress Three
By Aidan Stoddart ’20. Aidan is a sophomore in Eliot House concentrating in the Comparative Study of Religion.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
abides under the shadow of the Almighty
He shall say to the LORD,
“You are my refuge and my stronghold,
my God in whom I put my trust.”
(Psalm 91:1-2, NRSV)
Till We Have Faces
By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry.
Lent is a season to face up to temptation and the fear of isolation, as Jesus did in the desert. Lent is a time to put trust in the desperate hope that if God truly incarnated Himself, He will do it again—that if He truly showed me His face, as I believe He did, He will do it again.
Foreheads and Invisible Faith
By Lauren Spohn ‘20. Lauren is a junior in Currier studying English.
As we begin this Lenten Season, I encourage us to think of ways that we can wear ashes on our foreheads for the next forty days, for the next forty months, the next forty years--ashes that aren’t always visible grey crosses on our foreheads, but invisible acts of faith that ripen our lives into visible signs of Christ.
The Distance from Here to Paradise: Restoring Community
By Sharla Moody, BK ‘22. Sharla is majoring in English.
Is Paradise for ourselves and for our campus just around the corner, after the next protest, after the next wellness discussion? Perhaps. But perhaps our desires for justice, home, and contentedness, though extraordinarily noble pursuits, are too temporal to sustain us and too blurry around the edges to formulate in a way that is good for everyone.
