A Message from Mother Kate
This weekend we celebrate the 4th of July, the 'birthday of America' and the reminder of our country's independence from tyranny. And it's an excuse to be with family and friends, to eat good food and enjoy the beauty of the sunshine (and fireworks!). We make any holiday into a feast, because it taps into that deep part of us that wants to break bread with others. It's a sacred act, eating together.
I have a wonderful book of poems by Drew Jackson, writing inspired by the gospel of Luke, and in one of them, he riffs on Luke 5:29-30 -- one of many places where Jesus feasts with all kinds of people, tax collectors and sinners alike.
The poem reads,
We share identity. You identify with me. Though we are told we should
not share space, the plates we pass preach solidarity.
This is where we plant our flag -- on the continent of joy. We will
not be removed from our native land, evicted from our house of
ebullient jubilation.
This weekend we'll be eating our burgers and cheering for the fireworks, with all the variety of people who make up San Diego and America -- and all the many more besides who sit at Jesus' table.
