And then try to never leave from its wonder. The song of Mary: “He has remembered me!”ĭo you hear? He has remembered us! Stop a moment in the flurry of trying to find the deep big thing to reflect on and just take the measure of the awe of that for a moment. So I think that I need a moment to say out loud that God is just mindful of me and of you. Some days, these days, I think God just loves us. I don’t even believe in the in spite of some days. Don’t hurry from that to the place where you say, “God was and is mindful in spite of …” because that in spite of is not the point. Now wait a moment and don’t leave that too soon. That’s not fancy or loud or the big punchline in the sermon that gets everyone on their feet and causes a real stir, but can you take a moment with me and just hear that for the first time again? The God who made everything and is making everything was and is mindful of me and of you. You, too, but for a moment I am lingering on the part that is individual-God was and is mindful of me. What I am likely to forget because of too much repetition and hurrying by is the scandal that God was and is mindful of me. The scandal of Advent is not unknown to me, but I admit that this is not the scandal of my attention, it is not the part of the story I am likely to forget. I, too, cannot easily reconcile the good God who looks at flesh and, where I see saggy, lumpy, dirty, dying, pronounces it beautiful, luminous, vibrant, resurrected. I understand that they scandalize me, too. They are the things that we talk about the most because they are the things that scandalize us the most. Things about a Jesus who comes and dwells in the midst of us, makes holy mortal bodies, and announces the goodness of flesh are the stories of Advent that get a lot of attention. It’s the most miraculous truths that I am the most likely to forget. For he knows our frame he remembers that we are dust.
