Highlands United Church - April 10, 2020

Good Friday: The cross of Jesus. A stark reminder of the capacity of humans to utterly forget compassion, and an equally stark reminder of the lengths God is willing to go our of tenacious love for the world. Come gather in prayer and honour the story of that love, then and now.

TheGuestHouse

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows
,who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
—Jellaludin Rumi
