ADULT CHRISTIANITY
Sunday, January 2, 2011

Celebration of the Epiphany

Adult Christianity knows that suffering cant be dealt with intellectually or rationally. Dealing with suffering ha something to do with ones capacity for presenceto oneself and to God. Presence to suffering means you don scapegoat, blame, label, attack, judge or criticize. Its the same as being in love. Presence simply lives in the ful I am who I am, warts and all. Reality is what it is, even though it does not always meet my needs. "God thinks I am worthy of life, and God has allowed this to happen, so on some level it is OK. This is the only answer to pain, but it is only true at the soul level and not at the mind level, which always fights and resists. After 37 chapters of Job complaining and cursing God, Yahweh comes to him from the heart of the tempest (38:1). Yet Yahweh does not give Job a single direct answer or explanation. Hes just in Gods presence and somehow everything is okay. Mutual presence, realized and experienced, is itself the best answer. It heals the soul and that is where the wound always lies.

Starter prayer: You know who I am.
