“The liturgy continues to ground me. Whether it’s by its prayers or by its lectionary readings, or by how it has created a rhythm of life, I feel that for once in my life I know what solid ground feels like. My solid ground is not just faith, it’s not just liturgy, it’s not just Scriptures. It’s all those, but it’s also the shoulders of the saints that have gone before, the shoulders of the saints living now, and (mysteriously) it’s the shoulders of the saints that will come after me.” -Demelza Ramirez
