The purpose of The Purple Liturgy is to
authentically express the joys and sorrows
of our daily lives
and celebrate
the healing response
of a Community in Christ.
Indeed, purple can be
the color of cancer survivors, veterans
anyone who has encountered
the color of injury --
emotional or physical.
It is, however, also
the color of resilience
in the form of
the Passion of Christ --
the hope and promise
of the healing love and forgiveness
delivered by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
and His People.
