Some still interpret
standing tall
with Jesus as a call
to be a
manly man,
misguided macho
and
misogyny.
Perhaps a different
view is due —
the view
of Jesus’
mother Mary
who stood tall
beneath the cross
and watched
her son
in agony
entrusting him
to his destiny,
and perhaps
in that
moment re-
membering
her Magnificat —
the liberation of
all creation
for eternity.
*with appreciation to Henri Nouwen for a meditation that gave me the idea.
Love it! Could be about Pat Robertson and his ilk. BTW, do you know a “little liberal Jew” named Wiley who heads the MRFF…keeping religion and state separate…who was attacked by Pat?
