Today’s theme (or as Erik reminded us not today’s theme but Christianity’s theme) was Be Reconciled. During the worship, we were lead through the spiritual practice of Lecito Divina, and feasted on the words of one of our new hymns: The Weight of Past and Fruitless Guilt (Community of Christ Sings Hymn #214). The practice lead me to engage in a much deeper way with the hymn than I would have had we simply sung through it once. As Erik lead us through the four portions of the Lectica Devina, (Reading, Meditation, Prayer and Contemplation), I was drawn to ponder the words ‘Lift Up’ and ‘Buoyant’ from the hymn text. As Tore Nilsen spoke about how to live in redemptive community, and Erik explained about the symbolism of eternity through circles, I was ‘lifted up.’
Today I was reminded that God lifts us up to a higher place, where we can see our brother’s and sister’s faces. That through our experience of growing in relationship with each other, we are able to know God’s redeeming and reconciling grace that makes us whole. In our wholeness we are brought into balance and able to embrace and recognize our own forgiving and reconciling hearts. As a reconciling community we are able to move forward in Christ’s mission in the world.
I have faith that God will continue to lift us up, and help us draw the circle ever wider.
