You are invited to join us tonight for Maundy Thursday worship at 7 PM at St Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle. If you come in person you can choose to join in as we wash each other’s feet, like Jesus did. Or you can join via live-stream. Our choir will be singing.
Yesterday when Jewels gathered, we were awed by a live improvisational piano solo. How’s that for a surreal writing prompt?
I found myself listening and drafting this prayer:
Eternal One, who calls us all to dance and settles each of us to peace. We own your wonderfulness. You have held our hands through the dark including mine this morning while they were tight on the steering wheel driving here through rain and endless traffic. You assist us as we release tears and raucous laughter too. Help us go forth through these holy days and nights in steady joy, willing to be luminescent as we weep for all the suffering both inside and around us. In all the Holy Names of the Ineffable. Amen.
