Walk With Me

Matthew 21:1-11

The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!  Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!  Hosanna in the highest heaven!”  (21:9)

Walk with me.

In a world where innocents die,

And tyrants rage,

And bombs fall.

And terror reigns.

Walk with me.

In a world where race,

And gender,
And who we love,

And religion,

Divide.

Walk with me.

In a world where some die of famine

While others feast,

And so many flee their homes,

While others close their doors against them.

Walk with me.

Walk with me to the cross.

Walk with me to that place of execution, and suffering and death.

Walk with me to that place of healing and reconciliation and hope.

For a world shattered

By violence, and hatred and deep, deep pain.

Walk with me.

Shout, “Hosanna!”  

“Lord, save us!”

And see our God’s response.

Peace,

Bishop Mike.
