The imagery and truths expressed are incredibly rich. In today’s reading we are reminded of the intimate relationship that is ours through baptism—as we are adopted and named God’s beloved children. We are united with Christ and with each other into the one body of Christ. We are anointed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and called to serve God’s mission. Living out God’s mission can be extremely hard some days. We are forewarned of this, but it doesn’t make it easier in the heat of the moment. What does make it easier is knowing we are on this mission with God—not a far-away God, but our God who is as close as our breath. We need not get stuck in fear or despair. Instead, we can cry out, “Abba! Father!” even silently in our hearts, and know that the Holy Spirit will be there to intercede. “Join us for Meeting on Monday!  The coffee pot will be on.
