Beyond what is right

 


Mark 2:23-24


One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?”


Isn’t it the truth

that there will always be those

who are more concerned with the rules

than with what makes sense in the moment

Those who police other people’s actions

with so little awareness of the impact of their own

Those who prefer order

over transformation

May God give us grace to bear with the rule bound

and the courage to risk reaching beyond

with the spirit of love

that truly makes a difference
