Padre's World: The Good Vicar wishes everyone who is a father in various ways a Happy Father's Day! Today I celebrated Father's Day with the wonderful congregation of All Saints Anglican Church in Hawthorne CA. We sang, prayed, laughed, preached, celebrated Holy Communion and ate Nigerian food. I pray for those who have their dads, those who have lost their dads, those who are estranged from their dads, and those who don't know their dad that they know: You are deeply loved and you are radically accepted. You are the beloved sons and daughters of the Father in his Beloved Son Jesus empowered by the Holy Ghost. Walk in this Reality, live in this Reality, remain in this Reality; and let no one or no thing take this Reality from you! #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #shalom #wholeness #realignment #retreat #eucharisticcommunity #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #fathersday #allsaints (at All Saints Anglican Church)

Padre's World: The Good Vicar is tired. It has been a long day. Today was Mothering Sunday at All Saints Anglican Hawthorne. The Mother's Union played key roles in the service. There was singing, dancing, preaching, Communion, and of course: eating! It was a day of celebration and love. Just want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the women in my life who have loved me, mentored me, and made me a better man and a better priest! #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #shalom #wholeness #realignment #mothersday #eucharisticcommunity  #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #allsaints #Nigerian (at All Saints Anglican Church)

Padre's World: On this Good Friday, God becomes enthroned as King of the world in Jesus. God reveals the fullness of his Glory in the nakedness and shame of a bloody figure lynched from a tree! God disrobes in dishonor so that we may receive the dignity of Deity! We as broken and despised humanity have the assurance of God who is Abba holds us up, cradles us, in the midst of our sufferin’ even though we feel abandoned by the One who is silent. The same God who held his Son on the cross is the same God who holds us up in the midst of our sufferin! -The Good Vicar #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #fitspiration #shalom #wholeness #realignment #eucharisticcommunity  #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #holyweek #passover #goodfriday

Padre's World: The Good Vicar is back in Los Angeles. I just want to say thank you for the cards, prayers, Facebook messages, and support from family and friends during the passing of my mother. Last Tuesday, we laid her to rest. I must admit I am a rollercoaster of emotions. As Brennan Manning says: We are a bundle of contradictions. Relationships in life and death are a bundle of contradictions with estrangement and attachment; demonization and deification; and yet through it all, one comes to terms with humanization. We are all broken human beings called by the Triune God to the realization of beauty in ourselves and others. Pray for me as I now go into Holy Week and Pascha/Easter Celebrations. #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #fitspiration #shalom #wholeness #realignment #eucharisticcommunity  #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #holyweek #easter #pascha (at Palatka, Florida)

Padre's World: The Good Vicar preached and celebrated Communion at All Saints Hawthorne. My sermon texts were 1 Samuel 3, John 1: 43-51. From the story of the calling of Samuel I preached about hearing God, seeing God, and gettin' one's house in order and connected it with the question of Nathaniel: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? I looked at my Nigerian congregation and said: I will preach this from the White House to the Crack House that all men are created equal in Jesus and that my Hope is built on nothin' less than the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness! I declared over them that no matter what the current administration says that something good comes out of Hati, out of Nigeria, out of the hood! I rooted both texts in MLK's challenge to the Church in Letters From a Birmingham Jail. I ended my night at Spirit Alive Eucharistic Community in Altadena where I preached the same sermon and these little ole ladies shared family stories of being involved in the civil rights movement. #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #fitspiration #shalom #wholeness #realignment #eucharisticcommunity  #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #MLK #civilrights (at All Saints Anglican Church)

Padre's World: On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Mission had our staff party and the Good Vicar had his picture taken with jolly ole St Nick. Not sure which list I'm on: naughty or nice. I told him that I'm always called "Good" but he asked if I acted good. Then I said: Define Good. (Almost a true story). We had a good breakfast, raffles, singin', games, and good conversation. #padrepower #gangstapriest #kingdomofgod #god #jesus #holyspirit #vicarofskidrow #mystic #charismatic #contemplation #inspiration #intergrated #intuition #imagination #recovery #addiction #homeless #transformation #fitspiration #shalom #wholeness #realignment #eucharisticcommunity  #stmichaelsinthecity #thelamission #poor #christmas #gifts (at Doubletree by Hilton Los Angeles - Commerce)
