The Second Lesson Mark 15:47-16:7 A Reading from the Gospel According to Mark. MARY Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid. When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. " And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 They had been saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you."

Maria made a rented house in Paris her "convent" It was a place with an open door for refugees, the needy and the lonely. It also soon became a center for intellectual and theological discussion. For Maria, these two elements-service to the poor and theology-went hand-in-hand. When the Nazis took Paris in 1940, Maria began to provide a safe haven for Jewish Parisians. Many came to her hoping to receive baptismal certificates, which they believed would prevent their deportation. Her chaplain, Father Dimitri, gladly provided them. As the occupation became more dangerous, the community hid more Jewish people, providing shelter and helping many to escape. Eventually, this work of the community was discovered by the Gestapo. Maria, her son Yuri, her mother Sophia, and Dmitri Klepinin were all taken into custody. Maria was sent to the concentration camp in Ravensbrück, Germany. While imprisoned, she encouraged the other inmates. Her faith was strengthened by her claim that "each person is the very icon of God incarnate in the world." With this recognition came the need "to accept this awesome revelation of God unconditionally, to venerate the image of God" in her brothers and sisters.

Why have you brought this people across the Jordan at all, to hand us over to the Amorites so as to destroy us? Would that we had been content to settle beyond the Jordan! O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned their backs to their enemies! 9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will you do for your great name?" The LoRD said to Joshua, "Stand up! Why have you fallen upon your face? "Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I imposed on them. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have acted deceitfully, and they have put them among their own belongings. ' Therefore the Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they turn their backs to their enemies, because they have become a thing devoted for destruction themselves. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you. 1 Proceed to sanctify the people, and say, *Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the LorD, the God of Israel, "There are devoted things among you, O Israel; you will be unable to stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you."

So they went, and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and spent the night there. 2 The king of Jericho was told, "Some Israelites have come here tonight to search out the land." 3 Then the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who entered your house, for they have come only to search out the whole land." 4 But the woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "True, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from. 5 And when it was time to close the gate at dark, the men went out. Where the men went I do not know. Pursue them quickly, for you can overtake them." She had, however, brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax that she had laid out on the roof. 7 So the men pursued them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords. As soon as the pursuers had gone our, the gate was shut. Before they went to sleep, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men: "I know that the LorD has given you the land, and that dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before you. 1 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to

Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory. SNo one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. "Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. 9I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LorD your God is with you wherever you go.
< Back = Morning Prayer THEN Moses summoned Joshua and said to nim in the sight of all Israel: "Be strong and bold, for you are the one who will go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their ancestors to give them; and you will put them in possession of it. ® It is the LorD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Then Moses wrote down this law, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LorD, and to all the elders of Israel. ° Moses commanded them: "Every seventh year, in the scheduled year of remission, during the festival of booths, "when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. "Assemble the people-men, women, and children, as well as the aliens residing in your towns-so that they may hear and learn to fear the LorD your God and to observe diligently all the words of this law, "3 and so that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as you live in the land that you are crossing over the Jordan to possess." 24 When Moses had finished writing down in a book the words of this law to the very end, 25 Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 26 "Take this book of the law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD vour God: let it remain there as a witness against

And I charged Joshua as well at that time, saying: "Your own eyes have seen everything that the LorD your God has done to these two kings; so the LorD will do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross. Do not fear them, for it is the LoRD your God who fights for you." 23 At that time, too, I entreated the LoRD, saying: 24"O Lord GoD, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your might; what god in heaven or on earth can perform deeds and mighty acts like yours! " Let me cross over to see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and the Lebanon." 2 But the LoRD was angry with me on your account and would not heed me. The Lord said to me, "Enough from you! Never speak to me of this matter again! 2 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look around you to the west, to the north, to the south, and to the east. Look well, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. 28 But charge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, because it is he who shall cross over at the head of this people and who shall secure their possession of the land that you will see."

(Back = Morning Prayer The LorD spoke to Moses, saying: 1° Speak to the Israelites, and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, "then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that a slayer who kills a person without intent may flee there. "The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger, so that the slayer may not die until there is a trial before the congregation. ' The cities that you designate shall be six cities of refuge for you: '4 you shall designate three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge. '5 These six cities shall serve as refuge for the Israelites, for the resident or transient alien among them, so that anyone who kills a person without intent may flee there. 3° If anyone kills another, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of a single witness. 3 Moreover you shall accept no ransom for the life of a murderer who is subject to the death penalty; a murderer must be put to death. 32 Nor shall you accept ransom for one who has fled to a city of refuge, enabling the fugitive to return to live in the land before the death of the high priest. 3 You shall not pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 You shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the Israelites.

Dunlop Commission (John Dunlop had been Secretary of Labor in the Ford administration) to act as a labor relations board to settle any grievances that the parties in the contract could not resolve on their own. This mechanism was essential since farm workers remain excluded from the National Labor Relations Act (except in California which created its own Agricultural Labor Relation Act in 1975.) Mt Olive Pickle Boycott (1999-2004) In the 1990's, FLOC began organizing farm workers in North Carolina, the second largest producer of cucumbers/pickles. After attempts to get Mt. Olive Pickle Company to enter into negotiations toward another 3-way agreement failed, FLOC called a boycott of Mt Olive Pickles in 1999. As with the Campbell Soup boycott, NFWM placed staff in North Carolina to support the campaign. Along with the tireless work of Joan Preiss, founder of the Triangle Friends of Farmworkers, NFWM staff, led by Lori Khamala, made hundreds of presentations in churches, organized pickets at Kroger and other grocery stores, took the boycott national as Mt Olive grew its sales territory and garnered boycott endorsements from the NCC and other national church bodies. The turning point in the boycott was the endorsement of the United Methodist Church; Mt Olive CEO Bill Bryan is a Methodist. The endorsement effort was led by NFWM and our member organization, UMC Board of Church & Society. The 5-year boycott ended in 2004 with the signing of an agreement between FLOC, the Mt. Olive Pickle Company and the NC Growers Association. The agreement covered approximately 8,500 H-2A guest workers working cucumbers, sweet potatoes, tobacco, Christmas trees, and other crops on about 1,000 farms. The agreement was the first farm worker union contract in North Carolina, a Right to Work state, and the first covering guestworkers. National Farm Worker Ministry, August 2017

And he said, "No." 3" Then the LorD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LoRD standing in the road, with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed down, falling on his face. 32 The angel of the LorD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times?! have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me. 33 The donkey saw me, and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away from me, surely just now I would have killed you and let it live." 34 Then Balaam said to the angel of the LoRD, "I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the road to oppose me.

Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to bring us to this wretched place?
