Episcopal Networks Collaborative Releases: Reimagining and Honoring the Ancient Practice of Rogation: Modern Reflections for Rogation Days
The Episcopal Networks Collaborative, which consists of The Episcopal Network for Economic Justice (ENEJ), The Union of Black Episcopalians (UBE), and people interested in advancing environmental justice across the United States, is excited to provide a collection of reflections on Rogationtide. Rogation Days (May 10- May 12) are a small season between the Sixth Sunday in Easter and Ascension Day. Historically, Rogation served four purposes, which we attempt to highlight in our writings. These focuses were: blessing the land for harvest, reconciliation of differences, neighborliness, and mercy for the poor. When we began to think critically about this season we noticed a common thread: community. We hope these reflections prompt conversations and actions that unify our sense of belonging and strengthen our ability and desire to love and care for The Other.

that embraces all shadows and frees your Soul to once more

Let Your Light Shine
As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. Destroy the darkness about me, Scatter the darkness before me, Disperse the darkness behind me, Dispel the darkness within me. Let your light shine on me. As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. The warmth of your Presence, The brightness of your love, The radiance of your joy, The shining of your hope. Let your light shine on me. As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. Your light to guide, Your light to lead, Your light to direct, Your light to brighten. Let your light shine on me.

"Behold my brothers, the spring has come'
the earth has received the embraces of the sun and
we shall soon see the results of that love!
Every seed has awakened and so has all animal life.
It is through this mysterious power that we too
have our being and we therefore yield to our neighbors,
even our animal neighbors, the same right as
ourselves, to inhabit this land."
- from the Book "Spiritual Ecology" edited by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. The Author is: Tatamka Yotanka, Sitting Bull.
