The Very Rev Tom Purdy - Mother's Day Sermon

In this heartfelt Mother's Day sermon, The Very Rev. Tom Purdy of Christ Church, Frederica (St. Simons Island, GA) shares a moving meditation on resurrection, reunion, and the powerful love between mother and child. Drawing inspiration from the Italian Easter tradition of the Madonna che Scappa ("the Running Madonna") in Sulmona, Italy—where a cloaked statue of Mary runs to meet the risen Jesus—Rev. Purdy reflects on what it means to run into love, rather than waiting passively for it to arrive.
