Who are we? What are we here for?
Mis à jour : 22 nov. 2018
Knitted in a womb with intricacies beyond reason
Loved and known before seeing the light of day
Adopted by the one who created and is the way
Welcomed into a family across time and location
An image-bearer, created, and constantly transformed
A member part of a greater whole: they call it body,
the resurrected people together in community
Our nature being recapitulated, we are now vivified
Who are we? What are we here for?
To reflect the One Creator, and to grow in his likeness
To point to beauty and goodness and cultivate them
To seek the welfare of the city and to become anchored,
growing roots in him to bring about lightness
To love without condition, without boarders,
To be instrument of peace and compassion
Reviving ashes, dressing wounds, alleviating fevers
Indeed, participating in the very grace of the incarnation
NDLR: Ce poème réfléchit autour des questions "Qui sommes-nous? Pourquoi existons-nous?" Il esquisse une description de ce que cela veut dire d'être la communauté du Ressuscité...
