Rock Mass

Rock Mass - Easter Edition 2024

While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” (Luke 24:4-7)

Peace, Love, and Light!

The inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s. On the first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass which was a mix of traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A live band would play popular rock music which couldn’t necessarily be called “Christian” but contained spiritual phrases and references to God or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s there was an explosion of these songs coming out of the "secular" music industry way before there was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The Gospel According To Billboard's Top 10".

Good Friday

 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. (1 John 3:16)

Peace, Love, and Light!

Jesus Flipping Out

"Jesus Overturning" by David Hayward

When I see politicians peddling Bibles I can't help but think of this illustration by David Hayward titled "Jesus Overturning".

Jesus wasn't very tolerant of financial and political power mingling with the religious system of his day.

We would do well to keep in mind whose tables Jesus flipped over and whose tables he ate at.

Peace, Love and Light!

Jesus said to them, “But, whom do you say that I am?”

Then Simon Peter answered, and said,

“You are the Christ; the Son of the living God.”

And Jesus answered, and said to him,

“Blessed are you, Simon, the son of Jonah.

For flesh and blood has not revealed it to you,

but my Father who is in Heaven."

(Matthew 16:15-17)

Peace, Love and Light!
