ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

September 16, 2019

Prayer for the Week:

Though we’d like to believe

that we have chosen you,

O Source of Life and Love,

the story of our faith recounts

your diligence and patience,

your fidelity and sacrifice

to the holy task of choosing us.

It was more than

a tap on the shoulder,

more than a nod or a wink.

It was comprised of –

faithfulness in the face of betrayal,

mercy for those who felt no remorse,

and the death of the one

who refused to constrain

his capacity to love.

Are we really worth it?

Do we score high enough

on the exam?

Can you find enough positive

within our flawed nature?

Though many would be quick

with their self-righteous doubt,

you have suggested otherwise.

In fact,

you have provided

an explicit and candid indication

of your opinion –

your conviction –

revealed in one from Nazareth:

love wins;

we win;

the world wins.

Thank you! Thank you!

Amen.
