Are you a specimen Apostle?…
Contained underneath impenetrable glass? …
Your wings no longer able to stretch in your place of limitation? …
Your beauty encased like a museum piece? …
Conformed now to the mold of the world and other’s expectations?
Radically in His love you have been called…
Radically in His love you have been marked…
Radically in His love have you lived, shared, provided?
“The Christian who does not bear witness is sterile, without giving the life he has received from Jesus Christ”. Pope Francis 5/6/14
Wow, interesting perspectice.
Have you read Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love, for some reason I thought of it while reading your post.
Not familiar with it…I’ll have to get a copy. Blessings.
Love this. So relevant for me right now. Yes, we must always bear witness, learning what that looks like in different situations. As another Francis (of Assisi) said: “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.” Lovely and powerful poem, thanks.
yes I love that quote of Francis of Assisi! May our actions preach the Gospel always. Blessings.
