How do it make it right?
When I am afraid,
When I am angry,
When I am hurt?
How do I deal with all that is wrong?
An eye for and eye
A tooth for a tooth
The redemption of violence?
The suffering One (Isaiah 53)
took the worst
the
world
could give
betrayal
hate
torture
rejection
and ultimately a
terrible death of suffocation
hanging
how did the Sacred One
respond?
"Forgive them"
"Today you will be in paradise"
in eucharist
we celebrate
redemptive suffering
we celebrate
the power
of being broken open
and poured out
what do we do with our
Eucharistic,
redeemed life?
we are called
to take that life
break it
give it away
pass it around
when we eat
The Meal
we agree that our lives are not our own
but participate
in the One
and that we
yes
we
share in the task of
redemptive
love
