Lent 3 – 23 Mar 2025

Reading through the Scripture for Sunday, I’ve found lots of questions for us to ponder together. I can’t promise to offer any answers, but we will do our best as we wrestle together! One thing I am sure of is the promise of abundant love, grace and mercy offered to us all as the Beloveds of God. Here is a 28 word poem that looks at that promise:

Even
after
all this time the sun never says
to the earth,“You owe me”

Look
what happens with a
love like that –

It lights the whole
world.

 (Shams-ud-din Muhammad Hafiz, c. 1320-1399, trans. Daniel Ladinsky, Love Poems From God, 2002)
