St. Mark's New Canaan

05.18.25 "Practice Praise" - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

St. Mark's New Canaan

The Fifth Sunday of Easter. 

How do we find our place in a world that feels both chaotic and beautiful? In this stirring reflection, Rev. Elizabeth invites us to consider the practice of praise—not as a shallow response to life’s highs, but as a radical, grounding act in the midst of mystery, loss, and renewal. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 148, she explores how creation itself models a way of living in harmony with God’s vision for the world.
