Brian McLaren writes in We Make the Road by Walking, “[Faith]
was to be a road, a path, a way out of old destructive patterns into
new creative ones.” There are many roads we can choose to make:
roads of anger, hate, and violence; roads of disrespect and exclusion;
roads of obstinance and arrogance. On life’s journey, when we come
to a fork in the road, we need a guide to advise which path, which
choice, would best serve us and those around us. Christ is that guide,
positioning our feet in the way of peace.
Living God, when there is a choice, steer us in your way and
guide our feet in the path of peace. Amen.
