Revelation 5:11-14
Easter 3C
[…] those realities one would hit it lucky and lead to human life, and we are in the one universe that hit it right. Of course, writer Greg Easterbrook once pointed out the irony in such theories. Because it is odd that the same scientists who belittle the “blind faith” of Christians somehow manage to […]

[…] the fourth Sunday of Lent in the Year A Lectionary but by the time we get to late April in 2026 and hit the Fourth Sunday of Easter, Psalm 23 will put in yet another Lectionary appearance. Indeed, it is the psalm appointed for the Fourth Sunday in Easter in all three of the […]
