Mary, the Bridge

The Rev'd Tuesday Rupp

In this homily the Rev’d Tuesday Rupp, rector of Saint Paul’s Church in Woodbury, Connecticut, reflecting on the image of Mary in mosaic in the church of Saint Sebastian in Istanbul, invites us to think of Mary as the saint for all people who serves as a bridge between the earthly and the divine, the now and the not yet. Mary gives us hope for the life of God’s kingdom that is to come.
