Dear Trinity Cathedral,
I like to read bumper stickers. They’re often funny, sometimes upsetting, and usually thought provoking. Some years ago, a bumper sticker gained much popularity. “Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” It occurs to me that this message was contrary to the one that Jesus shared with his disciples and with us in Sunday mornings gospel reading – “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:4-35)
Jesus was not random or senseless. His teachings, his miracles, his acts of love were all part and parcel of God’s plan for establishing the Kingdom on earth. In my journey, plans that were random and senseless have usually failed. When open, however, to the Holy Spirit, and focused and intentional on prayer and action, then I have experienced blessings and grace… not always what I had expected… but always blessings and grace.
My hope is that we are all called, with the gifts and talents that God has given us, to intentional acts of ministry by the Lord Jesus. And my prayer is that we have the patience, determination, and strength to carry out these ministries… and always with love… for they will know we are Christians by our love.
Sincerely,
Fr. Jason Leo
