Dancing for Joy – Sermon for Easter 6B – May 13, 2012
Fr. Funstons' sermon for the Sixth Sunday of Easter, May 13, 2012, is now on line: Are you a music fan? A classical music fan? I am. I love the great symphonies – Beethoven’s Fifth, his Ninth, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, Dvorak’s From the New World, and many others – they just bowl me over. I can sit down in a concert venue and no matter what emotional state I may be in, a good symphony or concerto can overcome it – cynicism, depression, grumpiness, whatever my condition may be it will be conquered by the music and I will be uplifted. It ...
Know – Go – Show: Sermon for the 5th Sunday of Easter, Year B – May 6, 2012
Fr. Funston's sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter is now on line: It was the summer of 1961; that was the second summer my cousins were there as well. Bob – two years old then me, Randy – 20 months younger, and I decided we wanted to build a tree house. So we asked Granddad if we could do that and he said, “Yes.” He didn’t ask which tree we were thinking of using, and he didn’t give us any direction . . . he just said, “OK.” So we proceeded to build our tree house in his prize pie ...
The Lord Is My Shepherd: I HATE that! – Sermon for Easter 4 – April 29, 2012
Fr. Funston's sermon for the Fourth Sunday of Easter is now on line: I hate the 23rd Psalm! Eight years of saying it every night of every summer will do that to you! I tried to get him to change that. “Granddad, couldn’t we learn another psalm now? Say Psalm 117?” (I was being pretty cagey with that suggestion – the 117th Psalm is the shortest in the book – only two verses.) But, no, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” . . . every night! Read the whole sermon!
Have You Anthing Hear to Eat? – Sermon for Easter 3 – April 22, 2012
Fr. Funston's sermon for the Third Sunday of Easter is now available on lined: I have to admit that I would be hard-pressed to choose one of the many post-resurrection appearances of Christ as my favorite. Each one recorded in Scripture is so full of vivid imagery and meaning that it would be nearly impossible to put one above another … having said that, however, I also have to admit an especial fondness for the one described here by Luke. There are two things about this one that I really like. First is Luke’s comment that the disciples “in their joy … ...
