Liturgical Entanglements

David Russell Mosley

In the church year, in prayer, in liturgy we find a comingling of time and eternity. Without leaving our experience of time, we somehow, mystically, enter into God's eternity. And God, without leaving his eternity, has entered into our time. The poems in Liturgical Entanglements seek to engage with these strange realities. Starting with Advent, the sonnets in this collection look to both the human and the divine, everyday occurrences, and the spiritual realities that uphold all of reality. Read these poems as prayers and let them help you see the world around you in a new way.

Praise for this book

"Mosley understands both the human heart and the Christian mysteries. My favorite poems are in the sequence of the 'Stations of the Cross'--he speaks to Christ, recounts what happened, asks questions, and stands in awe. This is a powerful, wrestling faith."
--Jon M. Sweeney, coauthor of Meister Eckhart's Book of the Heart

"The clear, evocative language of Mosley's poetry invites us and enables us to enter into the liturgical year as a lived experience, far more than just dates on a calendar. Readers will find much to savor in this collection."
--Holly Ordway, Houston Baptist University

"Liturgical Entanglements is a sacred offering for contemplatives who desire to revere the mystery of kairos. Each poem is like a sacramental exhale or a surrendering genuflection to God's loving providence. The prayers offered on these pages will both uplift hurting hearts and strengthen joyous celebrations. This book is truly a gift to the people of God!"
--Julia Walsh, Host, Messy Jesus Business (podcast)
