The Comfortable Words
Eric and Julia Pickerill
The Comfortable Words is a space to slow down and allow the words and way of Jesus to comfort us, strengthen us, and reorient us to the care and keeping of Christ. The phrase comes from Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer. Cranmer's "comfortable" didn't mean cozy or comfy — it comes from the Latin confortare, meaning "with strength." These are words meant to give fortitude in uncomfortable times. Each episode offers a reflection on words spoken by Christ or about him, with room to be still. More at pickerill.casa
