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’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

Reclaiming The Truth Within Us – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
This night always brings up a lot of stuff for me. I think it does for a lot of people. Maybe that’s one of the reasons it’s not well attended and why most do not participate in washing feet. That’s not a criticism, just a recognition that this night brings up a lot of stuff. Read more

Our Jesus Moments – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
Earlier this week I was talking with a friend about tonight’s foot washing. He said, “Do you want to hear about my Jesus moment?” I couldn’t help it and I just started laughing. And then he started laughing. “Sure,” I said, “tell me about your Jesus moment.” The reason we were laughing is that my Read more

Sermons For Easter Sunday And Holy Week 2022
I often follow a thread or theme through Holy Week to Easter. This year I focused on self-betrayal, the ways in which we turn away from ourselves and our lives, and live less than who we truly are. It will be easier to see and follow that theme through these sermons if you begin with Read more

Re-membering – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
What comes to mind when you think about Maundy Thursday? Most of us probably think about the foot washing and the last supper. That’s certainly part of what happens on this night, and that’s the focus of tonight’s gospel (John 13:1-17, 31-35). But this night is also the night of the betrayal. After washing the Read more

Coming Clean About Ourselves – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35
Here’s my question. What in you needs to come clean tonight? And what is your fear about that? This is not about whether you will wash someone’s feet or take off your shoes and socks and let your feet be washed. This is about your own sense of worthiness and whether you are enough. I… Read more
