Following Jesus and the Daily Paschal Mystery

"Following Jesus and the Daily Paschal Mystery"

Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry

June 29, 2025

Over the past weeks, listening sessions have asked what it means to be an Episcopalian in Alabama, with some saying we are the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement, a place where questions and doubts are embraced as faith. Faith asks us in return, “What does it mean to follow Jesus?” For some, it means leaving everything; for others, returning home to tell of God’s goodness. No matter how, it always involves the life, death, and resurrection—what Paul calls the Paschal Mystery. As Henri Nouwen said, our deepest vocation is to witness the glimpses of God we have been allowed to catch. So start small, start today, and ask how you have seen God, for this is how we follow Jesus.
