Some final things to remember
Peace happens in relationship
Jesus, sometimes called Truth said:
Folks are lucky, blessed, fortunate, on the right track
by living out compassion
“dethrone [yourselves] from the centre of our world and put
another there”[1]
This is the kindom of God
Driving under the influence
of the good ol’ Protestant
work, work, work ethic
We quickly rush to what we
might do
To remember is to work for peace![2]
I say,
To remember is to
work for peace.
In the wise words of another:
“The hope of a disciple is never based on one’s own agency
but on one’s following the acting God
who acted then in Jesus Christ
and is now in and among us all in the world.”[3]
I have listed, enumerated, deliberated, cogitated,
Here is my piece about peace
Weave these threads into your faithfulness,
knit them into your remembering and forgetting
lace them around the warp and woof of your life,
that horizontal and vertical scaffolding
that keeps you grounded to God and to others
– as if there is any difference
Peace be with you.
