The great state of Tex-afornia

Day three of Celtic daily meditations

The Cry to God as 'Father"
in the New Testament
is not a calm acknowledgement
of a universal truth about
God's abstract fatherhood.
It is a Child's cry
out of a nightmare.

It is the cry of outrage,
fear, shrinking away,
when faced with the horror
of the 'world'
-yet not simply or exclusively
protest, but trust as well.

'Abba Father'
all things are possible
to thee...


Rowan Williams
