…I have been thinking a great deal about the body these last weeks. Blessed and broken…I wanted to talk about the gift of physical particularity and how blessing and sacrament are mediated through it. I have been thinking lately how I have loved my physical life. --Rev. John Ames in Gilead

I was ten years old at the tie of that sermon. I may not have heard it until ten years later in college. But over those past thirty years, when I hear it, it is hard to hold back tears. The tears are both for the loss of MLK, and for my failure to live in any regular way the profound hope that he has expressed: "mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." If I would only see that daily, I am confident I would contribute better to living a God-directed life and enhancing his reign.
Amen, brother (or sister). Amen.
Thanks for this.
