    Sermons For The Triduum 2025

    Below are my sermons from the Triduum this year: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter. Though we might experience each day’s liturgy as separate, they are in reality one liturgy. There is no dismissal after Maundy Thursday. We leave in silence. The Good Friday liturgy begins and ends in silence, again without a Read more

  • Let Me Get The Door For You – An Easter Sermon On Luke 24:1-12

    Let Me Get The Door For You – An Easter Sermon On Luke 24:1-12

    I’m going to ask you what I think is a very simple question with an obvious answer. But you might surprise me, you have before. So we’ll find out together. You ready? What do you do when someone opens the door for you?  Yes, you say thank you and walk through it. Well done. You Read more

  • Courage – A Holy Saturday Sermon On John 19:38-42

    Courage – A Holy Saturday Sermon On John 19:38-42

    Today the shadow of Good Friday is long and dark. Yesterday’s nightmare did not end with this morning’s sunrise. If anything, today, Holy Saturday, only confirms what has been lost. It really did happen. The messenger of God’s love, peace, and nonviolence; the one who was anointed to bring good news to the poor, release Read more

  • Now It Is Up To Us – A Good Friday Sermon On John 18:1-19:42

    Now It Is Up To Us – A Good Friday Sermon On John 18:1-19:42

    “‘It is finished.’ Then Jesus bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”  “It is finished.” Those are not the words of a winner who accomplished his task. They are the words of a witness who, God help him, testified to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: – The truth about Read more

  • Let’s Get Personal – A Maundy Thursday Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35

    Let’s Get Personal – A Maundy Thursday Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35

    I’ve come to believe that this night, Maundy Thursday, just might be the most difficult day of Holy Week. I think we would rather glory in the cross of Christ than expose our feet. I think we would rather marvel at the empty tomb than feel the altar of our life stripped bare. Maybe that’s Read more

  • A Betrayable Life – A Sermon on John 13:21-32 For Wednesday In Holy Week

    A Betrayable Life – A Sermon on John 13:21-32 For Wednesday In Holy Week

    It’s easy and tempting to look at today’s gospel (John 13:21-32) and cast Jesus as the victim and Judas as the villain. It seems to be the usual interpretation. Maybe that’s a projection of our own experience of being betrayed. We feel like the victim. But Jesus never cast himself as the victim. He doesn’t Read more
