“Clay
figures have been present in the Pueblo culture since 400 A.D. Female figures,
animals, birds and more recently the storyteller figure have been part of their
tradition. The "singing mother" with several children sitting on her
lap was introduced by Cochiti artist Helen Cordero. In the 1960s, Helen created
the first official grandfather-like storyteller that was modeled from her own
grandfather and his storytelling skills. Storytellers reveal the importance of
oral tradition amongst Pueblo children--they teach about Pueblo culture,
heritage and beliefs through abstract stories. Today, many Pueblo communities
create storyteller figures. The word "storyteller" has taken a
generic form and is used to describe not only the male figures, but female
figures, clowns, turtles, bears, coyotes, and other non-traditional characters.
All of these figures are classified as "storytellers" because of the
many children gathered around them. This particular storyteller is female and
was made by Jemez Pueblo artist Rose Pecos-Sun Rhodes.”

When
he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to
him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these
things, and who gave you this authority?" Jesus said to them, "I will
also ask you one question; if you tell me the answer, then I will also tell you
by what authority I do these things. Did the baptism of John come from heaven,
or was it of human origin?" And they argued with one another, "If we
say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But
if we say, 'Of human origin', we are afraid of the crowd; for all regard John
as a prophet." So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he
said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these
things.
"What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first
and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' He answered, 'I will not';
but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said
the same; and he answered, 'I go, sir'; but he did not go. Which of the two did
the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to
them, "Truly I tell you, the tax-collectors and the prostitutes are going
into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of
righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax-collectors and the
prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your
minds and believe him."

From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the
Israelites journeyed by stages, as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim,
but there was no water for the people to drink. The people quarrelled with
Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them,
"Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?" But the
people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said,
"Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and
livestock with thirst?" So Moses cried out to the Lord, "What shall I
do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me." The Lord said to
Moses, "Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel
with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I
will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock,
and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink." Moses did
so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. He called the place Massah and
Meribah, because the Israelites quarrelled and tested the Lord, saying,
"Is the Lord among us or not?"
Psalm
78:1-4, 12-16
Give ear, O my people,
to my teaching;
incline your ears
to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth
in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings
from of old,
things that we have heard
and known,
that our ancestors have told us.
We will not hide them
from their children;
we will tell
to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of God,
we will tell of God's might,
and the wonders that God has done.
In the sight of their ancestors
God worked marvels
in the land of Egypt,
in the fields of Zoan.
God divided the sea
and let them pass through it,
and made the waters stand
like a heap.
In the daytime God led them
with a cloud,
and all night long
with a fiery light.
God split rocks open
in the wilderness,
and gave them drink abundantly
as from the deep.
God made streams come out
of the rock,
and caused waters to flow down
like rivers.
or
Ezekiel
18:1-4, 25-32
The word of the Lord came to me: What do you mean by repeating
this proverb concerning the land of Israel, "The parents have eaten sour
grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge"? As I live, says the
Lord God, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Know that all
lives are mine; the life of the parent as well as the life of the child is
mine: it is only the person who sins that shall die.
Yet you say, "The way of the Lord is unfair." Hear
now, O house of Israel: Is my way unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
When the righteous turn away from their righteousness and commit iniquity, they
shall die for it; for the iniquity that they have committed they shall die.
Again, when the wicked turn away from the wickedness they have committed and do
what is lawful and right, they shall save their life. Because they considered
and turned away from all the transgressions that they had committed, they shall
surely live; they shall not die. Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of
the Lord is unfair." O house of Israel, are my ways unfair? Is it not your
ways that are unfair?
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, all of you
according to your ways, says the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your
transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin. Cast away from you all
the transgressions that you have committed against me, and get yourselves a new
heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no
pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Turn, then, and live.
with
Psalm
25:1-9
To you, O God, I lift up my soul.
O my God,
in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult
over me.
Do not let those who wait for you
be put to shame;
let them be ashamed
who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me to know your ways,
O God;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth,
and teach me,
for you are the God
of my salvation;
for you I wait
all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy,
O God,
and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins
of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love
remember me,
for your goodness' sake,
O God!
Good and upright is God;
therefore God instructs sinners
in the way.
God leads the humble
in what is right,
and teaches the humble
God's way.
Philippians
2:1-13
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation
from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy
complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and
of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility
regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own
interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was
in Christ Jesus,
who,
though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not
only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you,
enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
