Have you Stolen my Cup? - March 15

In Sunday morning’s Daily Office reading (daily Scripture for Episcopalians), Joseph hides a silver chalice in his brother Benjamin’s sack and when the guard catches Joseph’s brothers, he says, “Why have you stolen my silver cup? Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he divines?” -

On this morning for many of us Christians, it feels like our silver cup has been stolen. But I am as confident as ever that this will make us more compassionate, open, flexible, gracious, sympathetic for people who are hurting and in need, and more faithful. May we all be renewed in the midst of this crazy time and look with anticipation for the moment when we sip from the common cup again.

-John+
