This morning's sermon was on fixing one's gaze to find healing. I have some thoughts on this and on the passages which were read (from Numbers, Ephesians and John) but mostly I was struck by this excerpt from Auden's "For the Time Being" that was quoted:
He is the Way. Follow Him through the Land of Unlikeness;
You will see rare beasts, and have unique adventures.
He is the Truth.
Seek Him in the Kingdom of Anxiety;
You will come to a great city that has expected your return for years.
He is the Life.
Love Him in the World of the Flesh;
And at your marriage all its occasions shall dance for joy.
I suppose it's kind of cheating to post this selection and not actually share my reflections, but I want to let it stand on its own. Plus, Sundays in Lent are cheating days anyway.
