What Kind Of Day Has It Been?

“God’s joyful invitation to us is literally to become as much as is humanly possible one with the other who is in pain. It is the love ethic of the marriage liturgy when we talk about the two becoming one flesh … that same kind of knowing … only God, the great polyamorist, models doing that as a community ethic that embraces all creation. Or at least trying to.

“When we hear each other’s cries that challenge our power and privilege, the way our joy becomes full is to have that same mind that is in Christ Jesus and not grasp onto our power and privilege but as much as possible putting ourselves in the shoes of the ones whose cries we hear.

“To live together. To hurt together. To heal together. To all be liberated … together…

“That’s the power of love.”
