Give Me This Stranger
Sermons from Grace Cathedral
In this sermon, the Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi explores the theme of the stranger in scripture, Christian tradition, and contemporary life. From Israel’s exile to Jeremiah’s lament, from the Annunciation to Mary to Joseph of Arimathea’s plea for Jesus’ body, God appears as both stranger and guest. Jesus challenges us to take the lower place and to invite those we do not know to the banquet. In a time when immigrants and neighbors are imperiled, the call is clear: to recognize Christ in the stranger, and to welcome all to the table of shared humanity. Proper 17C • Jeremiah 2:4-13 •...

The Waters Overwhelm Us: A Call to Holiness
Sermons from Grace Cathedral
In this sermon preached by the Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi, inspired by a summer storm and the mountaintop visions of scripture, we are invited into awe before the holiness of God. This holiness is revealed not only in overwhelming power but in justice, equity, and love. Echoing Moses’ transformation and Jesus’ transfiguration, Rossi calls us to be formed through prayer, community, and sacrament. Holiness is not for the mountaintop alone but sends us into the world for the sake of others. At the baptismal font, we remember our call: to live as consecrated people in God’s own mission. The...
