Extraordinary service on Holy Thursday. The Mepkin community gathered at lunch and before the meal Abbot Stan and Mother Morena washed everyone’s feet as Jesus did with the Disciples at the Last Supper. Then all sat quietly as I read the Gospel of John, Chapter 14, also Jesus at the Last Supper, including "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." Quite moving. I was filled with the Holy Spirit and brought to tears. Am blessed to be part of it. Sadness tho, because Abbot told us that Bishop AJ is nearing Death. AJ was a voice of strength on the phone when I called here from the Appalachian Trail, always ending his calls, “God Bless you Grasshopper.” God Bless you, AJ.
