Whether you are using the assigned texts for All Saints or sticking to those for the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, we spend some time in the psalms thinking about how our bodies express grief and carry reminders of God's promises. We also chat about things that literally and figuratively imprison us.

The readings for this week emphasized a few different things for us about the breadth of God’s inclusion, the difficulty we have with that as sinful creatures, the fact that sometimes it’s not a bad thing to dwell in complexity, and that when all else falls short: we can let the sacraments preach for us.
