Blessed Practice

  |  The Rev. Philip DeVaul
The Rev. Philip DeVaul

Blessed Practice

I showed up to my piano lesson one day, and my teacher could tell that I was really frustrated. She'd been working with me since I was nine and she could tell that I was very frustrated. She asked, what's wrong? I said, I'll tell you what's wrong. I'm listening to Glen Gould play this invention and I can't play it like that. And she said, Phil, he's one of the greatest piano players in the history of piano, no one can play it like that. Don't do that to yourself.

I said, well, I, if I can't sound like him when I play this, why play it at all?

I feel like this is how we get when Jesus tells us what it means to be a disciple. Jesus stands up before us today in the beginning of what we call his Sermon on the Mount, which in the Gospel according to Matthew, is the true beginning of his earthly ministry. And these are the very first words he says. Blessed are the poor in spirit.

Come Follow Me And...

Brett Scott

Come Follow Me And...

He comes in and sits down across the desk from me and he says, hey, I have got this great plan for your life. I know exactly what you should be doing from now on. I've got it all worked out. And guess what? You don't have to worry about the direction of your life anymore. So come on, let's go. So of course, I get up and I grab my coat and off we go.

It, it's a great, it's a great mental picture and something we would all want to have happen, to have Jesus actually show up and clearly tell us what we should be doing, what our purpose in calling is, right? It's what we would want, right? Isn't it?

Is it though? Because of course, when I really stop to think about it, maybe it's not what I want. I suspect we all want some level of plausible deniability in our relationship with Jesus. If we can claim that we can't really know what Jesus personally wants from us, then it is left up to us to determine all of that. That feels safer somehow.

Rector's Blog, Giving Up

Rector's Blog, Giving Up

One of the best things about New Year’s resolutions is when you give up on them. I don’t mean when you miss a day, or start to slack: I mean when you just throw in the towel and say, ok this isn’t happening in 2023. 2024 will be my year.
I am ready to do that today.
You might remember in a previous blog I said that I was not going to try to be a better person this year. New Year Same Me, I said. That was essentially my New Year’s resolution: to be myself and not try to get better. But I keep wanting to try to be a better person anyway. I keep slacking and accidentally wanting to be less terrible. Friends, how do I win the fight against self-improvement? I think I’m throwing in the towel. I think I want to be better, whether I like it or not.
Each year, on or around Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I re-read King's Letter from Birmingham Jail. This is a letter he wrote while incarcerated for marching against racial segregation in Alabama in 1963. I read to be inspired and challenged of course – but also to be convicted. Let me explain.

Crushing on Jesus

  |  The Rev. Philip DeVaul
The Rev. Philip DeVaul

Crushing on Jesus

One of the most amazing things about crushes is how it's better off if you don't get to know them at all. As long as someone remains sort of a mystery and out there in the beyond, you can idealize them. You can think all sorts of things. They can be all sorts of things for you. Maybe they've just been just attractive enough to catch your eye and maybe you learn a couple of things about them, their name, which immediately seems exotic to you, even if it's a name that 20 people you already know have.

Just a couple of other details and you can start to fill in this imaginary person and their life and what it might be if the two of you could actually know each other. You know, of course, what happens when you get to know a person you have a crush on? It's the best and fastest way to cure the crush.

Maybe it's not a romantic crush. It could be a professional crush, someone you've admired for a long time, someone whose accomplishments you've seen from afar, and you've thought to yourself, I want to be that kind of rockstar in my profession. I want to be like them. And that's where that old maxim comes in, Never meet your heroes. Not because your crush or your hero or the one you admire from afar is actually disappointing in their being. It's just that they're disappointing because they're actually people and not just your idea of what a person could be. You've built up the perfect complement to yourself, and then you're confronted with the reality of their humanity, and it can be crushing.

Rector's Blog, Dumpuary

  |  The Rev. Philip DeVaul
The Rev. Philip DeVaul

Rector's Blog, Dumpuary

Dumpuary is a term coined by the now defunct pop-culture website Grantland. This movie season runs through January and February, basically post-holiday, pre-Oscar time. It’s during this time that studios dump the movies they wonder why they made, their least promising works. It’s a strange mix of smaller, cheaper movies that might just make some money during a dry moviegoing season, and larger movies that should’ve been a big deal but turned out poorly, and the studio has to release them anyway. Hence Dumpuary. It is just an awful time to go to the movies.
In case you were wondering if we are currently in Dumpuary, the movies that are being released in theaters this week look like this: The Devil Conspiracy, in which a biotech company made up of secret satanists uses the Shroud of Turin to try to clone Jesus and offer him up to the Devil. No, I am not kidding. Also opening is a reboot of the 90’s hip-hop comedy House Party, and an action movie about a plane called, well, “Plane.” This, my friends is Dumpuary.
But I’m a priest, not a movie critic, so we should talk about Jesus – and not the cloned one from that Devil Conspiracy movie.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer Morning Prayer on our Online Worship Podcast.

Thank you for supporting the mission and ministry of Church of the Redeemer!

To give a one time gift, click the button below. To make a financial commitment for 2023, use the Commitment 2023 tab above.

Donate

Flowers in our holy worship spaces are a beautiful gift to God and those who attend services at Church of the Redeemer as well as those being honored or remembered. A contribution to the Flower Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one for special life events such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, thanksgivings, or in memory of a loved one.

Donate

The Church of the Redeemer is blessed to have received special gifts from parishioners who wanted Redeemer to have permanent savings to care for our facilities and to supplement our pledge income.

Such permanent savings are often called an “endowment.” The endowed funds are permanently set aside by donors or by the Vestry. Some of our donors have specified uses for their endowment gifts. A limited portion of the funds is distributed each year to supplement our general budget. All funds are invested with professional advice.

LEARN MORE

What about your connection to Redeemer changes the way you live in this world? Your financial commitment is a response to the work that God is doing with you here. It is a practical way to ensure that others are able to experience the relationships of holy connection and communion that are shaping your life.

For 2023, we ask that you make your commitment through regular scheduled electronic giving, if possible. Whether it be weekly or annually, giving electronically is a safe and sustainable way to ensure your continued financial support.

MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT NOW

Your planned legacy gift to the Church of the Redeemer is a practical way for you to empower generations to come. It is a powerful witness of faith, love, and gratitude. This type of gift recognizes the heritage left by those who came before us and acknowledges that we bear a responsibility to the future faithful - to insure the continuation of God’s work within and beyond Church of the Redeemer.
