Evil wants us to despair. Empire wants us to give up. To wave our little palm branches in the face of injustice, to rejoice in the face of death, to hope in the face of evil, is not silly. It’s subversive.
Our limitation and mortality focuses us in the present moment. God doesn’t save us from suffering; God shares our place in it. We can do that too. Love creates blessing, even in the midst of suffering.
In the story of the prodigal son we join the prayers of the younger brother, the older brother, and the loving father. We release our judgment of ourselves and others, and receive God’s infinite love.
Jesus says “Repent or perish” but it’s not a threat or warning: it’s an invitation to receive deeper life from the God who gives life.
Facing our own brokenness and the brokenness of the world we’re tempted to whine, resign, or go into denial. But our tradition teaches us to lament: to put our sorrows in the hands of God, who changes us.
Jesus leads us into the desert not for self-punishment but for self-awareness, as we can reclaim the love God plants in us.
God’s light is already in us– all of us–growing in fullness. We are all already raised from death. We are all already invited to feast in heaven.
Jesus asks us to love everybody, even our enemies. Let nothing compromise your love. Don’t be right; be loving.
