Quiet Rest

They have anointed his body with oil
And veiled his face like a bride.
They have laid him in Joseph’s tomb...
A Lenten Prayer
Feb 27, 2021 | By Jadan Anderson MC ‘22
Dear God,
I am always delighted to see a cross in ashes on the head of a person I know in passing. There are few signs more perfectly suited as a public declaration of faith in you: the ashes are quiet, yet bold, and its symbolic power is multiplied the more and more it is seen by others. Out of seemingly nowhere, people with this symbol populate the streets, workplaces, and schools.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Miracles
Sept 15, 2020 | By Serena Puang DC ‘22+1
In 2019, members of Bethel Church implored the world to join them in asking God to raise two-year-old Olive Heiligenthal from the dead. For six days, people gathered to pray, worship, and declare resurrection power over Olive, but she never woke up.
Incidents like these and more everyday occurrences such as seemingly unanswered prayers for loved ones make it hard to trust accounts of miracles or even hope that they will come. Sometimes the seemingly unanswered prayer is waved off by the supplicant’s lack of faith. Alternatively, it is seen as proof that no higher being is listening.
