To the men and women

who keep a sacred appointment

on Sunday morning.

Bewildered by seductive voices,

nursing wounds life has inflicted upon them,

anxious about matters that do not matter.

Yet they come to listen for a clear word from God

that speaks to their condition.

And to those who minister to them now

and those who will do so in the future.
