Welcome

Homily on the Sunday following superstorm Sandy. Please visit www.janhus.org to learn more about Jan Hus Presbyterian Church and Neighborhood House.

We began Sunday, November 4 with this bit of meditation. We were all still reeling in the aftermath of the superstorm called "Sandy." So we began here, to acknowledge that many of us have been directly impacted by the storm, know of others who have, and admit to us all being a bit distracted and preoccupied.

Today's comments center around the extended reading of Mark's Gospel, with attention to Bartimeus and the "sight" he received when Jesus asked him, "What can I do for you?" We also read the final verses of Job and his journey - both centering on discipleship and the question we might ask of ourselves: What would we ask for if Jesus asked us: "What can I do for you?" In our closing blessing, we answered the lingering interrogative with the charge to once you know what you would ask for -- have the faith to ask. It's more than knowing, it's asking, as well.
