The Mass of the 8th Sunday after Pentecost sets before us the household of God and the household of this world, the inheritance promised to sons and the account demanded of stewards, the freedom of those led by the Spirit and the anxious calculations of those who live according to the flesh. The Collect, Epistle, and Gospel converge upon a single demand: we must become in conduct what grace has…

Kindly invited by Mr. Timothy Flanders, I have been asked to write about the writer’s labors. The very word labors is a useful reminder of the famous Labors of Hercules. Sometimes, a writer’s difficulties and challenges transform his work into a long succession of challenges—not merely twelve, but perhaps dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. Most of these remain hidden from the scrutinizing eyes…
