Mission and the Messiness of Life

August 29, 2021 | Davis Mooney

Series: For God So Loved the World

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:1-12

“Open wide the window of our spirits, O Lord, and fill us full of light; Open wide the door of our hearts, that we may receive and entertain thee with all our powers of adoration and love. Amen.”

Christina G. Rossetti, from Prayers from the Heart by Richard J. Foster

“There was a bird who… perched atop the corner of the world and built three nests. One of gold, one of silver and one of clay…. In the nest of gold she cleansed her coat daily, in the nest of silver she brought back her food. In the nest of clay she laid her eggs. On the day the fires came the nests of gold and silver met in a lucid river rushing to the sea while the nest of clay withstood the heat. Amen. The nest of clay was forged for eternity atop the corner of the world, while the ocean floor was covered in gold, silver, and sand.”

“Via Rail,” by Kaddisfly

“That’s the business of hope: broken things. And days like today make it clear that things are off the rails. We’ve got our work cut out for us. Oh God, there’s a new widow in the world. Our hearts are broken with her and for her. And only a mystery can heal them. Put me to work, Lord. Let me be about the business of the broken until it’s made right.”

“Fare Forward, Thomas McKenzie,” a eulogy by Pete Peterson
