The collection for today, the Day of Pentecost: Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Lessons and prayers: https://www.lectionarypage.net/YearA_RCL/Pentecost/APentDay_RCL.html (Image: the memorial garden at All Saints Episcopal Church in Millington this morning.)

The collect for today, the Seventh Sunday of Easter: O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. (Image: Spring flowers at St. Marguerite's Retreat House)

Sister Pamela and I visited the Vanderbilt mansion right across the Hudson from Holy Cross Monastery today. The tour is $10 and takes an hour. Really fun! #vanderbiltmansion #hudsonriver #history
