Easter Sunday, April 1st, 2018

Easter Sunday, April 1st, 2018

First, I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a very happy, a very blessed Easter to both you and your loved ones.  The events commemorated in Holy Week . . .  in particular, Good Friday and Easter Sunday . . . provide each one of us with an opportunity to reflect on what Our Blessed Saviour has done for us . . . what He has done on our behalf.  Let's get straight to the point.  What was the purpose for Our Lord to die a brutal death on the Cross?  What was the point of Our Lord to be beaten? . . . . mocked? . . . . spit upon?   Why was He so savagely tortured and humiliated?  Why was the King of Kings treated worse than a common criminal?  But even more to the point, why did He openly endure all of this?  The pain . . . the suffering  . . . the humiliation . . . . the beating . . . and finally . . . . an agonizing death on the Cross.   Why would He go through all of that?  What was the point?  What did all of this accomplish?  His efforts on our behalf did something we could never do ourselves:  He saved us from our sins and gave us the opportunity to spend eternity with Him in Heaven.  The media went on a frenzy this week when a certain famous clergyman . . .  this clergyman used to live in South America but now he resides in a beautiful city in Europe . . .  this clergyman was supposedly quoted as saying, "There is no Hell."  Now, of course, after this quote came out all the representatives of that famous clergyman scrambled to say that this quote was taken out of context.  But the point remains the same:   Why did Our Blessed Lord suffer and die on the Cross?  If there is no Hell, does this mean that Our Lord's suffering, pain, humiliation, and death meant nothing?  Of course, there is a Hell.  We read in the Book of Revelation:  " . . .  a lake of fire burning with brimstone."  (Revelation 19:20)  This is what most of us throughout history, I would suppose, picture Hell as.  But whatever it is, Christ suffered on our behalf so that He can save us from separation from God.   You see, whatever Hell consists of, the real tragedy of Hell is that it is ultimately, first and foremost, separation from God.  Christ died on the Cross to save us from our sins and thus the opportunity to be united with God for all eternity.  This is why St. Paul writes that we must "seek those things which are above" (Colossians 3:1).  So many of us seek the things below . . . and not the things above .  We spend our time, our effort, our energy seeking out the things below.  We live our lives chasing after the carnal pleasures with no regards for anyone or anything.  And yet, God loves us so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son into the world to save us from our sins . . . something that we could never hope to achieve ourselves.  And He did this because He loves us and wanted to save us.  He wanted to save us from ourselves and to save us from suffering the consequences of our living apart from God . . . . . eternal separation from God:  Hell.  This is the beauty of the events of Holy Week:  Christ did what He had to do in order to save us from ourselves.  For this, we should be eternally grateful and to fix our minds on Him and serving Him all our life.

Easter Sunday Mass will be held on Sunday, April 1st, 2018 at 9:30 AM at St. Margaret Church.  Mass is held at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

 Please note that on Easter Sunday, we will not be in the chapel as we normally celebrate there.  Rather, we will be on the Fourth Floor of Marquette Manor

Palm Sunday, March 25, 2018

Palm Sunday, March 25th, 2018

Now, if you are like me, you are a creature of habit and  this means you never change.  I do the same thing over and over.  I wear the same thing over and over.  I watch the same TV shows and movies over and over.  It doesn't even bother me to eat the same thing over and over.  I'm the first one to admit it . .  .  I'm set in my ways.  But even for someone like me that is set in their ways it is really amazing how much choice we have in life.  We make choices that we don't even think about.  We make a choice when we pick out one pair of socks over another pair.  We make choices when we go to work one direction as opposed to another direction.  We decide whether we want to eat eggs for breakfast . . .  or toast  . . . or both . . .  or neither one and get biscuits and gravy instead.  We choose what to wear.  We choose what to watch on TV.  We choose what brand of cornflakes we buy at the store . . . or macaroni and cheese . . .  or frozen pizza . . . . or . . .  or  .  .  . or  . . . .  We choose to eat healthy  . . . or we choose to get a delicious apple pie.  We choose to be productive on a Saturday.  Or we choose to be a couch potato and watch Bonanza reruns all day.  Life is filled with choices.  As I stated, some of the choices we make are so simple that we make them without even blinking an eye.  

In the Twenty-Seventh Chapter of St Matthew's Gospel, St Matthew describes the events as they unfold on that particular day.  Our Blessed Lord had been brought before the Sanhedrin, the ruling class of the Jews, on charges of blasphemy.  Now, keep in mind, they did not like Our Lord.  They did not like Him one little bit.  At best, they considered Him to be a rabble-rousing rabbi who was stirring up the people.  At worst, they considered Him a blasphemer.  And as such, they brought Our Blessed Saviour that day before the Sanhedrin on charges of blasphemy.  Now the reason Pontius Pilate got involved in all of this was because the Sanhedrin could bring charges, yes, but they could not order the death penalty.  And this was what they wanted.  They wanted Our Lord to be put to death.  They wanted Him out of the way.  They wanted to be done with Him.  So they brought Him to the Roman Governor.  They wanted Pilate to put Our Lord to death.  They wanted Pilate to do their dirty work.  So Pilate contemplated the whole matter.  As we read through the chapter, we see that Pilate was trying to let Jesus go.  He did not think that Jesus was guilty.  Certainly, it does not appear that Pilate believed that Our Saviour deserved the death penalty for these charges.  Pilate tried to think of a way out of this situation so he offered the crowd a choice.  St Matthew tells us:  "Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would." (St. Matthew 27:15)  So Pilate offered the people a choice:  "Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? " (St. Matthew 27:17)  The people had a choice.  They were given their choice by the Governor.  Would it be Barabbas or would it be Jesus?  The people made their choice.  They chose Barabbas over Jesus.   How often do we make our choice when it comes to Jesus?  Whom do we choose over Our Blessed Lord?  What do we prefer in place of Jesus.  We all have choices, don't we?  The world is full of people who have clearly made their choice already.  They don't care about God.  They don't care about Him.  They don't care about serving Him . . .  following Him . . . . obeying Him.  But what about the ones reading this . . . or me, the one writing it . . . . how often do we make our choice?  How often do we make a choice that isn't really the best choice we could make?  How often do we choose to turn a blind eye to God because it's not really convenient or not really what I might want right now?   How often do we choose to treat people poorly but then complain when we are treated poorly?  How often do we choose to sacrifice what we know is right for convenience sake.  Or because "what is right" gets in the way of "what I want"?   You see, life is filled with choices.  Big choices.  Little choices.  And we need to choose to be on the side of God.  We need to choose to be in God's corner.  We need to choose what God wants us to do and not what I want me to do.  What choice would Pilate offer to each one of us?  What do we choose in place of Our Blessed Saviour?  Drugs?  Drink?  Food?  The Internet?  Money?  Fashion?  Expensive shoes?  "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."  (St. Luke 12:34)   It is fine to have nice things.  God is the one that made the "nice things" possible for us to have.  But when the "nice things" stand in place of God.  When the "nice things" overshadow God.  When the "nice things" take over our heart.  This is where the problem comes in.  Let us always make our choice for God and His Kingdom.  Let us choose Him over all else.  And let us grow stronger in our devotion to Him and never leave His side.

Join us as we listen to the Word of God found in the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  Join us as we join together as God's family and worship Our Heavenly Father.  Join us as we come to the altar to be fed the Precious Body and Blood at Communion time.  And, finally, please stay after Mass for some fellowship at our coffee hour.

St. Margaret Anglican Church worships at the beautiful Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.  Mass begins at 9:30 AM.

Fifth Sunday in Lent, Passion Sunday, March 18th, 2018

Fifth Sunday in Lent, 
Commonly Called Passion Sunday, 
March 18th, 2018

I never really had very much interest in any type of "Awards Shows."   You know what I'm talking about.  A night where celebrities get all dressed up in beautiful gowns and tuxedos and walk the red carpet and then they go inside and get nominated for "Best Actor;" "Best Actress:" "Best Movie:" "Best Song;" "Best Album:"  etc . . . . etc.   They have these awards programs for movies, for television, for music, for sports, etc.  They just had the Oscars not too long ago.  I haven't watched the Oscars in years, quite frankly.   The award winners try to get too political in their acceptance speech.  But that's an entirely different sermon topic so let's move on.   It is good, in my opinion, to be rewarded for your hard work.  It's good to acknowledged for dedication.  Far too often, it seems to me, people from all walks of life are never truly acknowledged for the hard work that they do in their professions.   Whether you are a trash man or a bus boy . . . . a teacher.  . . . . nurses  . . . . doctors . . police  . . . fire-men . . . We could go on and on.  Personally, I wish they had an awards show for "ordinary" people where awards are given to our military,  . . .  our teachers, . . . . our police and fire-fighters. .   . .  etc.   But getting back to awards shows, it boils down to a group of people honouring themselves, so to speak.  People in the film industry are giving awards to people in the film industry.  People in the music industry are handing out awards to people in the music industry, etc.  In other words, they are honouring themselves.

In the Eighth chapter of the Gospel of St. John, Our Lord is having a lengthy discussion with the Pharisees.  The Pharisees were trying to figure out exactly whom they were dealing with.  If you read through this eighth chapter, you will soon see that Our Lord is answering their questions directly.  And so at one point, the Pharisees ask Our Lord:  "Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?" (St. John 8:53)  And Our Blessed Saviour responds:  " . . . If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your God . . . "  (v. 54)  Again, Our Lord Himself stated:  " . . . . it is My Father that honoureth Me . . ."  We need to e more like Our Blessed Saviour.  We need to be concerned more with what God thinks of us than what the world thinks of us.   So often we get all caught up in worrying about what people are thinking  .  .  . . what they are saying . . . . about us.  Especially in this age of "social media" that we live in, people seem to get their knickers all knotted up worrying about what people are saying and thinking behind our backs.  "Was that post about ME?!?"  "Were they writing that about ME?!?!"   We worry about other folks opinion of us and what they are saying and thinking about us.  But do we ever stop to think about what God thinks about us?  Do we care about what God has to say about us?  So often we do indeed "honour ourselves," as Our Lord said.  We give ourselves awards.  We make ourselves to seem more important than we are.  We want people to notice us . . . to acknowledge us.  But just as Our Blessed Saviour said to the Pharisees:  " . . . it is My Father that honoureth Me . . .  "  We need to be more concerned with what God thinks of us.  We need to focus on how impressed God is with our efforts.  I am sure we have all heard those letters:  "WWJD," which of course stands for "What Would Jesus Do."  But maybe we can get some wristbands made up with the letters "WWJT," which stands for What Would Jesus Think."  Are we more concerned how the world honours me or how God honours me.  Are we more interested in impressing the world  . . .  or impressing God?   

St. Margaret Church meets each and every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM.  We worship at the beautiful Chapel at Marquette Manor, located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.  We use the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  Come join us as we listen to God speak to us through His Word.  At Communion time, we receive the Precious Body and Blood of Christ to nourish us and give us strength for our journey called life.

Second Sunday of Lent, February 25th, 2018

Second Sunday of Lent, February 25th, 2018

In the beginning of the Fourth Chapter St. Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians, we hear St Paul advising them:  " . .  . .that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more"  (I Thessalonians 4:1)  In other words, St. Paul is telling them that they have learned and been taught and now he is hoping that they will take what they have learned and have been taught even further.  It is only logical, isn't it?  I mean think about it.  When a baby is born, this little one is dependent on you for everything.  But little by little he/she begins to learn a little at a time.  As children grow they learn how to do more and more things for themselves.  And then as teenagers they "branch out," so to speak, by getting a job .  . . learn how to drive . . . go out with friends . . . etc.  By the time they leave high-school, they either get a full time job or continue full time in college.  They learn more and more as they progress in life and they do more and more things in life until they are fully independent.  They live away from home.  They pay their own bills.  They make their own decisions.

This is what St. Paul hopes for the Thessalonians.  He is telling them that they they know how to lead good lives.  They know how to lead lives that are pleasing to God.  They know exactly what they are supposed to do in life.  Now, says St. Paul, you need to put these things into practice.  In the society in which we live so many of us know exactly what is right and what is wrong . . . and yet we continue to make the wrong choices.  Why is this?  How often do we do something stupid and end up paying the consequences and then we say to ourselves:  "Why did I do that?"  "Why was I so stupid?"  "I can't believe I did that."  

The problem is that we depend more on ourselves than we do on God.  Or, more specifically, we listen more to what WE want and our desires than we do to what GOD wants for us in our life.  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God."  (Romans 12:2)   The problem is that we "conformed to this world" instead of being conformed to the will of God.  We focus more on what the world would have of us than what God would have of us.  We listen more to what the world wants of us than what God wants of us.  We listen to the opinions of actors and actresses.  We listen to sports-stars.  We listen to politicians.  We listen to commercials.  We listen to fads and gimmicks.  How often do we listen to God?  We know right from wrong.  The problem is that so often doing the wrong thing is easier than doing the right thing.  Very often it takes courage to do the right thing in this world that we live in.  That is because in this world we have gotten to a sad state.  We have gotten to the point where doing what is right is mocked by the world as evil or backwards.  And very often those who do the right thing  . . . and stand by God . . . are mocked and persecuted and shamed for standing up for what is right.   "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:30)  What we need as Christians is Courage, Conviction, and Fortitude.  Courage to stand against the world when the world is against God.  Conviction in knowing that we are standing with God and listening to Him instead of the world..  And Fortitude in carrying out the will of God, to standing up with Him, and moving forward no matter what.  

St. Margaret Church gathers together every Sunday morning and we would love for you to join us in our weekly worship of Our Heavenly Father.  Mass begins at 9:30 AM.  We celebrate Mass in the Chapel of Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Please choose to take some time out of your busy schedule to spend some quality time with God.

Love One Another As I Have Loved You


It is certainly understandable when we get irritated with people.  Whether it's that person at work that is always "pushing our buttons" or the complete stranger that cuts us off in traffic.  We are human and getting angry or irritated is a human emotion.  We all do it.  I get mad.  You get mad.  You may even get mad at me or perhaps me at you.  So often we get mad, we try to justify the way we feel.  We come up with excuses.  We do our best to excuse ourselves from being mad, . . .. from being angry.  But the bottom line is that as Christians we are called to be different from the world.  As Christians we are called to emulate, . .  to imitate Our Blessed Saviour.  Even when we are justified in being angry (i.e., the person that cuts us off in traffic and almost runs into us), Our Lord commends us to show forgiveness because that is what He did.

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?  do not even the publicans the same?"  (St. Mathew 5:43-47)

In fact, if you notice what Our Lord stated above, He said not only to love your enemy but specifically He said that we should "pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."  So, for us to be more Christ-like as Christians we should both love our enemies and pray for them.  Now, bear in mind what we are called to do is not just a suggestion.  It's even more than a recommendation.  It's actually a commandment that we should love one another:  "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if you have love one to another."  (St. John 13:34-35)

Is any of what Our Lord commanded easy to do?  Not in the least!  Will we always be successful?  No!  And yet we are called to love . . . . Nay, we are commanded to love one another . . . . This is how the world will know that we are Christians Our Lord tells us.  As I say it will not be easy to do.  It will not be simple to achieve.  But we need to do if we want to be a Christian.  Our Blessed Lord never asks us to do something that He was not willing to do Himself.  Our Lord didn't just "talk the talk," He "walked the walk!"  He loved those that hated Him.  He showed love to those that mocked Him.  He asked forgiveness for those who crucified Him.   He died on the Cross for my enemy just as much as He did for me.

Let us lift up those in prayer those who oppose us.  Let us bring them to God in prayer.  Let us ask God to bless our enemies and to be with them.  As hard as this may be for most of us, it may ultimately benefit us as well when we pray for our enemies and those who oppose us.  Number one, in order to truly pray for someone we have to begin letting go of the hatred and bitterness inside of us that we are holding on to.  Second, when we get rid of the anger and hatred inside of us, it will stop eating us up inside.  Typically, I have found that the anger and hatred that I have towards someone else does more damage to me than it does to the person I am angry with.

"Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth."  (Proverbs 24:17)

First Sunday of Lent, February 18th, 2018

First Sunday of Lent, February 18th, 2018

In the Fourth Chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, we are told how Our Blessed Saviour went into the wilderness where He fasted for "forty days and forty nights." (St. Matthew 4:1)  And St. Matthew describes what happened to Our Lord when He was hungry.  Of course, the devil came and tried his best to take advantage of Our Lord's condition.  He tempted Our Blessed Saviour a total of three times:  first, he tempted Him by offering to turn stones into bread; secondly, he tried to get Our Lord to prove Himself by throwing Himself off the pinnacle of the temple to show that the angels would save Him; finally, the devil  ". . .  . sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;  in exchange for His loyalty to Him.   Our Blessed Saviour without hesitation turned down each and every one of these temptations despite His weakened condition from fasting for forty days.  

How many of us are tempted by the devil?  How many of us give in at the first sign of weakness?  Our Lord remained firm in His purpose and resolve for forty days although St. Matthew tells us that Our Lord was "hungered."  I seem to get hungry after forty minutes without eating, let alone forty days.  So certainly He was hungry.  But the point being is this:  Our Lord remained firmly committed to His purpose here on earth no matter how tempting the offers of the devil were.  We need to remain true to ourselves and our purpose is the bottom line.  

So often the devil tries to tempt us as well.  And things don't really change that much, the devil still tempts us with the same things he tempted Our Lord with.  We get tempted with gluttony.  We don't know when to stop ourselves sometimes when it comes to eating.  We eat until we are full and then we eat again, knowing full well that we are full, but we eat again simply because it looks "so delicious."  You ever hear that old phrase:  " My eyes were bigger than my stomach?"  Yes, of course.  We see it.  We want it.  End of story.  That's called gluttony.  The devil tempts us to prove ourselves to the world.  How often are we tempted to prove who we are . . .  to show who we are.  As kids we hear:  "Go on I dare you . . .  "  The world mocks us for who we are.  People mock us for what we believe.  Even loved ones will mock us sometimes.  The world dares us.  But we don't have to prove anything to anyone.   The only thing that we need to "prove" is that we are loyal to Our Heavenly Father.  And, finally, don't we sometimes daydream what it would be like to be rich . . . . to be famous . . . to be a star?  Do we ever ponder what it would like to be a millionaire .. . .  or in charge of a company  . . . . or to live in a mansion?  Sure, all of us have these dreams from time to time.  All of us think about "what if?"   What if I was rich?  What if I was famous?  What if I was in charge?  What if   . . . . what if . . .  what if . . . .  What we need to focus on is doing the will of God in our life.  We need to focus on staying close to Our Blessed Saviour in the good times and the bad.  We need to focus on showing God that we are a loving son or daughter to Him.  Our Blessed Saviour remained loyal.  He remained true to both Himself and His Heavenly Father.  This is the lesson we can learn from Our Blessed Saviour's forty days in the wilderness:  stay true to who we are; stay true to what we believe in; stay true to God in the good times and the bad.

Join us on Sunday, February 18th, at 9:30 AM as we celebrate the First Sunday of Lent.  Mass is celebrated at the beautiful chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

Quinquagesima, Sunday, February 11th, 2018

Quinquagesima, or the Sunday Next Before Lent, 
February 11th, 2018

We've often heard the phrase, "There's a right way and a wrong way to do something."  This only makes sense.  When we are two and three years old, we throw a tantrum when we don't get our way.  So if a child wants a toy or wants some candy, they demand what they want and if they don't get it the child throws a tantrum and begins yelling and screaming.  When I was growing up, this really didn't work out too often in my favor, I soon discovered.  If anything, it got me the opposite result.   With age, we are supposed to learn again that there is a correct way to go about something and a wrong way.  Let's say, for example, that I feel that I am entitled to a raise at work.  Now, I suppose I could go to my boss and call him/her every name in the book and demand a raise.  But more than likely that is the wrong way to go about it.  Not only would I NOT get my raise, I would probably run the risk of losing my job in the process.  Now the correct way to go about asking for a raise would be respectful to my supervisor and ask for a meeting and then point out my reasons for wanting a raise in a calm, courteous fashion and talk it over with my boss.    

In the Eighteenth Chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, we hear about Our Blessed Saviour on the way to Jerusalem with the Twelve Apostles. And as they are going by, they encounter a blind man who became aware of the presence of Our Blessed Lord.  This man began yelling to get Our Lord's attention:  "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me."  (St. Luke 18:38)  The blind man must have been making quite a commotion because St Luke tells us that the people there told the blind man to "hold his peace."  (v. 39)  But he continued until he caught the attention of Our Lord.  Our Blessed Saviour commended the man and gave him his request:  "Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee."  (v. 42)  It wasn't the fact that the man was yelling and screaming that impressed Our Lord, it was the fact that the man was persistent.   

Even in the epistle appointed for today's liturgy, St. Paul makes the point that no matter what we do, we have to do it with the correct intention.  For example, St. Paul writes:  "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."  (I Corinthians 13:1)  Again, what St. Paul is referring to is that we can have the correct action (on the surface) but if we do not do it with love, then it is wrong.  St Paul goes on to write:  " . . . and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing."  (v. 2)  Love again is the key.  It is love that should our motive in everything that we do.  So often in the society in which we live, love is certainly the motivation behind what we say, . . . what we do, . . .  how we act.  But the problem is that it is specifically "love of self" as the main motivation.  We demand things because we have ourselves in mind and what WE want.  We demand people to respect OUR views and OUR beliefs without any thought of anyone else's views or beliefs.  We expect people to consider OUR point of view but we don't take the time to consider anyone else's point of view.  

As St. Paul tells us, we are to do all things with love as the key.  Certainly, Our Blessed Lord used this as His main motivation.  Why else would He do what He did?  Even as He spoke to the Apostles on the way to Jerusalem:  "For He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and they shall scourge Him, and put Him to death."  (St. Luke 18:32-33)  Why would Our Blessed Saviour subject Himself to any of this?  Of course, the answer is love.  He endured what He did out of love for us.  He subjected Himself to torture and death out of love for us.  He died on the Cross for love of us.  He endured all these things because He knew that He was the "Innocent Lamb led to the slaughter."  He did all that He did for us out of love.  He was not thinking of Himself when He did these things.  He was thinking of you, . . . of me.  As such, if we truly want to be "Christ-like" we need to focus more on others and less on ourselves.  In short, we need to love others more and love ourselves less.

Join us as we listen to the Word of God found in the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  Join us as we join together as God's family and worship Our Heavenly Father.  Join us as we come to the altar to be fed the Precious Body and Blood at Communion time.  And, finally, please stay after Mass for some fellowship at our coffee hour.
