Our God makes all things new. In the first reading God promises it. In the gospel Mary anticipates it, anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume in preparation for the day of his burial. In the second reading Paul recalls his transformation from the persecutor Saul into an apostle. In baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.

Nuestro Dios renueva todas las cosas. En la primera lectura, Dios lo promete. En el Evangelio, María lo anticipa, ungiendo los pies de Jesús con un perfume precioso como preparación para el día de su sepultura. En la segunda lectura, Pablo recuerda su transformación de Saulo, el perseguidor, en apóstol. En el bautismo, la nueva persona de Dios (¡tú!) se levanta cada día del lodo mortal de las transgresiones y los pecados.. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
Join us for our Lent Midweek service at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church (5472 Adams Street, Mounds View, MN 55112)
Today we follow Christ from triumphal entry to the cross, each waypoint of the journey marked by Jesus’ compassion for those who would betray, mock, accuse, or do violence to him. Though persecuted and beaten, Jesus the Son of God is not disgraced; instead, he asks forgiveness for those who put him to death. We have walked the Lenten pathway these forty days, each of us invited through baptism to “let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” We enter this holy week accompanying Jesus to the cross with both grief and thanksgiving in our hearts, trusting in God’s redeeming love. Our service will be live streamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Hoy seguimos a Cristo desde su entrada triunfal hasta la cruz. Cada punto del camino está marcado por la compasión de Jesús por quienes lo traicionaron, se burlaron, lo acusaron o lo violentaron. Aunque perseguido y golpeado, Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, no es deshonrado; al contrario, pide perdón por quienes lo condenaron a muerte. Hemos recorrido el camino de la Cuaresma estos cuarenta días, cada uno de nosotros invitado por el bautismo a «tener el mismo sentir que hubo en Cristo Jesús». Entramos en esta semana santa acompañando a Jesús a la cruz con dolor y agradecimiento en nuestros corazones, confiando en el amor redentor de Dios. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
This evening our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to one another. Formed into a new body in Christ through this holy meal, we are transformed by the mercy we have received and carry it into the world. Departing worship in solemn silence, we anticipate the coming days. Our service will be live streamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 6:30 PM.

Esta noche recordamos la última cena de Cristo con sus discípulos, pero el enfoque central es su mandamiento de vivir la promesa encarnada en esta cena. Así como Jesús lavó los pies de sus discípulos, también estamos llamados a dar y recibir amor en humilde servicio mutuo. Formados en un nuevo cuerpo en Cristo mediante esta santa cena, somos transformados por la misericordia recibida y la llevamos al mundo. Al finalizar el culto en solemne silencio, anticipamos los próximos días. Nuestro servicio se transmitirá en vivo desde la Iglesia Luterana Cruz de Gloria a partir de las 18:30 h.

Life and death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world in the ancient bidding prayer, as Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days in the Easter Vigil. Our service will be live streamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 6:30 PM.

En el relato de la pasión de Juan, Jesús revela el poder y la gloria de Dios, incluso al ser juzgado y condenado a muerte. Junto a los discípulos al pie de la cruz, oramos por el mundo entero con la antigua oración de la oración, mientras la muerte de Cristo ofrece vida a todos. Nos reunimos con solemne devoción, pero siempre con la promesa de que el árbol alrededor del cual nos congregamos es, en efecto, un árbol de vida. Nos despedimos en silencio, anticipando la culminación de los Tres Días de la Vigilia Pascual. Nuestro servicio se transmitirá en vivo desde la Iglesia Luterana Atonement a partir de las 18:30 h.

«El último enemigo en ser destruido es la muerte», escribe Pablo. Hoy Cristo ha resucitado, y nos reunimos con asombro y alegría. Cristo ha resucitado, y hemos sido liberados de las ataduras de la muerte. Cristo ha resucitado, y somos perdonados. Cristo ha resucitado, y con las mujeres en el sepulcro y Pedro, estamos asombrados. Alegrémonos: ¡Cristo ha resucitado verdaderamente! ¡Aleluya!

In spite of all we have heard and all we have seen, it is often hard to believe. Because it is hard to believe, we will invest ourselves in the Easter mystery for fifty days (a week of weeks). Because it is hard to believe, John the evangelist will provide sign after sign celebrating Jesus’ victory over death. Because it is hard to believe, the risen Jesus will return to us again and again in the mystery of holy communion, inviting us to touch and taste his presence, and offering us his peace.

A pesar de todo lo que hemos oído y visto, a menudo cuesta creerlo. Por ello, nos sumergiremos en el misterio pascual durante cincuenta días (una semana de semanas). Por ello, Juan el evangelista nos dará señales tras señales celebrando la victoria de Jesús sobre la muerte. Por ello, Jesús resucitado volverá a nosotros una y otra vez en el misterio de la santa comunión, invitándonos a tocar y saborear su presencia, y ofreciéndonos su paz.
