Monday 3 Advent
"...But Jesus said, 'No more of this!' And he touched his ear and healed him." Luke 22. Gospel for evening prayer
What a dark and frightening gospel... the story of Gethsemane has always moved me. This passage shows us that even in the midst of his own terror and anger and sadness over the betrayal of his friend and the consequences that it had unleashed, Jesus is still caring for another; in the midst of great violence he is still, in his words and actions preaching the way of peace. How are we messengers oof peace today?
