ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 18, 2021
Prayer for the Week: There is so much we do not understand; so much we cannot comprehend; so many mysteries that remain beyond our reach. O Holy One of the Universe, you are shrouded in that mystery. We look to Jesus, and within him we are to see you. Yet there are questions that continue to confound us. We see death and suffering among those who have lived lives worthy of so much more. At times, there appears to be an unfairness in this life. How can this be when you are love itself, when Jesus himself demonstrated a depth of love far beyond anything this world might have believed possible? Maybe love is the ultimate mystery seeking to be revealed in the lives of those who risk love in the face of hate, disease, injustice, pain, selfishness, grief, arrogance, betrayal. Maybe love does not hold such things at bay, but provides an unrecognizable power to live within a world still in the grip of that which is not of you. Let us never give up exploring the profound mystery of your love. It is our greatest hope. Amen.
