First Followers and Now Again

April 10, 2020

just as the first followers

did, we break bread and

drink the wine behind

the closed doors of​​ 

our homes, not so much​​ 

now in secret but

as in shuttered away

separated both from the

the despair of the world

but also the joy of

our families and friends

and not so much out of fear

but out of love and caring

for those whose lives

we may touch in our daily

living.

May this bread and this wine

be a symbol of the sacrifices

made by many on our behalf

but also our willingness to

live sacrificial lives for each​​ 

other. ​​ Amen.
