‘And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay.’ Mark 4:4
while we talk a good game,
when the refugees start
showing up on our streets,
when the just released prisoners
come asking for jobs,
when the forgotten just cannot
take being pushed aside,
when the transgender kids
want their stories to be known
by all their classmates and teachers,
may they carry us to your house,
rip open the roof, lower us down,
so you can cure us of our
hardened hearts
cold shoulders
fears which overwhelm our faith
