Faith Lutheran Church

"On that first Easter morning,
as the stone was rolled away with the supernatural power of earth and heaven,
Mary and Mary bore witness to the limits of political power.

The world didn’t outwardly change.
The Roman empire stayed in power for a few hundred more years,
replaced by another,
and they by another,
on down through history into today’s own empires and oligarchies.

We labor for others’ wealth while scraping by ourselves,
picking and choosing our own costs of living,
our men are sent to war,
our children exploited and abused,
and women are crushed, holding all these things.

But the world did change for Mary and Mary,
the first witnesses to the end of all things."
