“A few decades ago, Anglican Christians took the traditional rosary and put a new spin on it creating the “Anglican Rosary.” Instead of five sections of ten beads, there are four sections of seven beads. Seven, of course, refers neatly to the days of creation, and with four sections the whole thing has a cross-like shape to it. There are a total of thirty-three beads on the rosary, which corresponds to the years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. This new form of rosary was, in part, inspired by a desire to give a beaded prayer resource to Christians who might be less comfortable directing so many prayers to Mary. However, these two rosaries don’t have to be exclusive of each other. They are different tools of prayer that do different things—and you could use either, or both.”

“our Sabbath practice is perfect. In fact, we’ve failed at Sabbath more than we’ve succeeded. At the same time, we’ve also learned that the Sabbath does not even compute the categories of “failure” and “success”! Instead, the Sabbath invites us to approach life playfully and not take ourselves so seriously. It invites us to come, eager and grateful, week after week, to receive its gifts of abundance, joy, presence, and delight. It invites us to embrace a more radical form of rest.”

“This is the promise of Genesis 1. The darkness is limited by the light. Suffering is not in perpetuity. The light may take generations to come, but it will come. There is always hope.”
