A gathering reflection for Sunday. Possibly remove objects from the communion table to leave a blank empty space and a word off-stage speaks the reflection. Based on the Elijah passage.
begin with a silence
to hold and handle silence
is to hold and handle all of god:
the mystery that shapes us
with no word of explanation
the grace that frees us
with no line of limit
the love that names us
with no name yet understood
the shame that convicts us
that uses no word of blame
the pain that slows us
that speaks no word of shame
the question asked by us
that has not yet been formed
only in still small utter silence
is truth heard
to hold and handle silence
is to hold and handle all of god
