I Know a Good Lawyer
Jesus is preparing to leave his disciples, and he knows what challenges and trials the future holds for them and those who will follow them, the suffering and pain, even the violence that will be brought against these beloved who have known him and struggled to understand his teaching, and he promises that God’s Spirit will come to them and abide with them when he is gone. He calls this Spirit, “Advocate”. In Greek, this word is “paraclete” a word that Johannine scholars have studied and debated and admired for millennia, and can mean “lawyer”, or, more accurately, an attorney for the defense. Seeing the conflicts and struggles of the church on the horizon, is Jesus assuring his disciples – “Don’t worry, I’ve got a great lawyer for you!”? Perhaps.
Lead Me, Guide Me…
“The song is ‘Lead me, Guide me’- In asking to be led, and guided we must have trust and have hope in the guide who is bringing us to a place with which we are unfamiliar yet we believe our divine Leader knows what and where is safe refuge and the best place for us to be spiritually, physically and emotionally.”
By Choosing God’s Love, We Are A Family: An Easter Vigil Sermon
The Holy Women teach us how to speak the joyful truth in love even when we feel afraid. We must ensure that women on the margins of dominant culture, who have survived the horrors of coloniality, can speak joyful truth in love, especially in the face of man-babies who are terrified of love and truth. Marginalized women have been proclaiming the joyful and life-giving Gospel truth for centuries.
