I'd like to suggest this before the sun goes down tonight. Right on a little index card. Whatever that thing was that struck you. Because I would find it hard to believe that there was not something in that story that struck each of us, but this this one. What struck you in particular? Write it down on the card and put it in your pocket and keep it with you throughout this Holy Week. Pay special attention to it when you pray, but let it always be right there with you, reminding you of the power of the story that we've just proclaimed again, reminding you of God's great and unconditional love and faithfulness and care, especially for those most in need. May we continue that work of protest for a more faithful, church to the image of Jesus and to a world situation that much more, accommodates itself to the desire and the vision that Jesus had, the mandate that Jesus gave, and that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, seek our best to follow.
