ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
April 13, 2026
Prayer for the Week:
Paul called us Fools for Christ
Fools in the ways of Christ
Fools because of Christ.
Holy God, you call us to be foolish
not idiots
not to purposely make poor choices
but to stand in the world
while representing you
and the very counter-cultural
life of Jesus.
We look foolish
as servants of Christ
entrusted with your holy mysteries.
It is hard work,
yet you understand.
The world pushes back –
Toxic religion
Unhealthy institutions
Powers and Principalities –
they cannot thrive
where the love first life is lived.
The world pushes back
Calling us foolish
unrealistic
not willing to play the game.
With your help
we won’t play that game.
With your help
we will strive to look foolish
as we put love first.
Amen
