The Church Year runs out in wisdom and glory, in judgment and mercy. I love the readings at this time of the year, readings that sum up the journey of our souls in the year past and that spur us to begin again the journey of our souls in grace. We are reminded of the connection between the Epiphany Season and the Trinity Season. More than just sharing the liturgical colour of green, symbolic of growth and hope, the connection appears in the abundance of miracle stories in each and in this fascinating exchange whereby the readings for Epiphany 5 (& 6) serve as the readings for Trinity 25 (& 26) if needed. These readings belong to a post-Cranmerian development of the Eucharistic Lectionary; the Epistle and Gospel were chosen by Bp. John Cosin who also composed the Collect(s). A 17th century Anglican divine, he notes that the Collects he has composed are based on the Epistle and Gospel readings for the day, a feature, he argues, that belongs to the BCP. The ‘Matthaean Apocalypse’, as it is sometimes called, reminds us of the end-times and judgment; of our lives as seen in the light of God, while the Epistle recalls us to the love of God in Jesus Christ who was manifested or came forth into the world “that he might destroy the works of the devil.” The victory of good over evil, of right over wrong, makes the beginnings of a new year of grace possible and joyous.
