God Moment
Where have I seen God lately? It was six months ago, at the rehabilitation center in
which my father was residing following a serious illness. We experienced an unfortu-
nate situation with the care my father was receiving, so I had chosen to be at his bed-
side 24/7 throughout that weekend, until I felt comfortable with his care again.
Most would have believed that it was the illness itself acting out upon him falling asleep.
The room was softly lit by a grated, recessed, floor light. Suddenly, dad sat straight up
in bed, calling for his mother, sister and niece (all of whom are deceased), and reaching
out in the direction of the light reflecting off the adjacent wall.
Startled by his sudden movement and words, I sat up in the chair in which I myself had been asleep, to watch
what was about to happen. Dad took hold of my hand and asked me, ―Are you going to go, too?‖ I responded to
him by asking, ―Where are we going, dad?‖ Looking straight into my eyes, he calmly answered, ―To see the
Lord.‖ I lowered my head, took hold of his hand and said ―No, not now, dad. But if you need to go, do what is
best for you.‖
Following that experience, I did not stay by his bedside as first anticipated. He had the Lord himself there by him.
Two weeks later, dad took his journey.

Book Review
JESUS FREAK
Feeding - Healing - Raising the Dead
by Sara Miles
Sara Miles is the founder and director of The Food Pantry, and serves as Director of Ministry
at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco. She is the author of Take This Bread: A
Radical Conversion. Here she explores what it means to her that Jesus has given us all the
challenge of "being Jesus." He gives us the power and presence to feed the hungry, to heal the
sick, to forgive sins, and to raise the dead. Just as the disciples were astonished by this grace, so
are modern day Christians. It is far easier to relax with our beliefs in Jesus than to be Jesus to
our family, friends, co-workers, and strangers.
It is at the pantry at St. Gregory where Miles discovered that ordinary people can do Jesus' work. She shares stories
from her experiences with Chinese grandmothers, heroin addicts, drunkards, and homeless families. The author and those
who work with her dispense food to 800 people every Friday. Nirmala, a Chilean woman tells Miles: "It's an ashram here,
honey. This isn't just a food place. It's a spiritual place. The pantry is spiritual nourishment — there's a lot of karma you can
work out with people here. We're all so different, but we elevate ourselves a bit here, spiritually, by being with each other."
Healing is another work Jesus gave his followers, and the author talks about the difference between this and curing.
Healing accentuates love, presence, and faith in the mysterious activity of God. She salutes Jesus who "shows us how to
enter into a way of life in which the broken and sick pieces are held in love, and given meaning. In which strangers literally
touch each other, and doing so make a community spacious enough for everyone. In which the deepest desires of our
hearts draw us to health. Don't be afraid, Jesus says: your faith will make you well."
Miles and Paul, a close co-worker, call Jesus "the Boyfriend," a colloquial version of the ancient Christian name of
"Bridegroom." She offers commentaries on the difficulties of practicing forgiveness and raising the dead. But the Boyfriend
opens doors which even make these two challenges possible and says "just give the people something to eat, just touch
them, just say you're sorry. And our lives had changed." Miles has come up with the perfect ending for a book on service:
"Go and do likewise." Walk the talk, be Jesus (or the Boyfriend) in all your days and deeds.

The Stations of the Resurrection
The Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross; in Latin, Via Crucis) refers to the depiction of the final hours of Jesus,
and the devotion commemorating His suffering and death. This service developed in Jerusalem as a devotion undertaken by
those wishing to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. In time it developed into 14 stations. The Stations of the Cross is a popular
devotion practiced by many Christians, especially during Lent.
A related devotion that has developed over the past 25 years is the Stations of the Resurrection, sometimes known in
Latin as Via Lucis or Way of Light (intentionally reminiscent of Via Crucis). Also 14 stations, this practice encourages medita-
tion upon the Resurrection of Jesus and some of His post-Easter appearances and related episodes contained in the Gospels
and the Acts of the Apostles. It emphasizes Easter as a season (which lasts 50 days, 10 more than Lent), not just a day.
While there is not yet a universally-recognized list of Stations of the Resurrection, this is a typical set of the stations,
with the associated scripture passage and some contemporary images for reflection.
