The gospel for my first celebration of the Eucharist as a priest
Mark 6:4
Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honour, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house.”
After the high of ordination
the ceremony and the celebration
the reality of priesthood hits home
called to be a prophet
among those who know us
a prophet without honour
Called to break bread at the altar
and in the neighbourhood
and to be broken and shared
in serving the one
who told a good story
who burst many a pompous bubble
who lived on the edge
in the gap between heaven and earth
who wreaked all kinds of mischief
with a twinkle in his eye
Called to be
priest, prophet and mischievous mystic
Give thanks to the Lord for this glorious gospel!
Congratulations and a big thanks for your unique style.the gospel made human, humourous and real. X
