Affirmation
We inhabit this truth:
That God in love
created all that is,
fashioned our first ancestors
from earth and from each other;
walked with them, brokenhearted, from the garden;
befriended Abraham and Sarah,
Hagar and Ishmael,
Isaac and Rebekah,
Esau and Jacob and Rachel and Leah,
and in this moment seeks us as friends.
We hold dear this truth:
That God's child enters our midst -
by the trust of Mary and the constancy of Joseph;
by birth at the edge of empire,
sung by the angels to shepherds;
by witness of John, by baptism and desert;
by healing and teaching, by a table hosting all.
We trust in this truth:
That the rabbi's cross is victory,
and empties every grave;
that the risen One speaks Mary's name,
heals Peter's shame,
and bears the wounds of love;
that lifted beyond us yet present among us,
and promising Breath from heaven,
Jesus lives.
We wait eagerly with all creation
to catch a glimpse of the truth to come.
Into this mystery we follow our hearts.
Amén, amén. Gracias por esta interesante afirmación de fe.
