Interesting comment. It’s actually the Lord’s supper (the Eucharist), not the Lord’s prayer (the Our Father). Very different things.

I fail to see how my roommate facing incredible pain and ultimately death (she died a week before Christmas) with deep courage, nor the small ways I attempted to understand and empathize with her suffering have anything to do with cowardice.

Disgusting that you see toture as an excuse ( like your predecessors) to tout your dying religion. Through universal and total education we could have peace on Earth, but, we need to rid ourselves of pathetic superstitions and ritualistic subjugation in order to do so.
“We can go to the lords prayer”? your cowardice is as shocking as your opressors cruelty, this is so typical of the bibliophile’s pusillanimous ideology. I am sickened. Burn your book of lies and go do something actually useful to assuage your ‘original sin’…

Great post. I’ll have to pick up the book. I would say that there are more incarnational aspects that we can participate in once freed through grace.

While doing CPE I was able to walk with so many people who were experiencing enormous amounts of pain. I didn’t “feel their pain” but I could feel it…if that makes any sense at all, which it probably doesn’t.

Anyway, my point is that by walking with your roommate while she walks this road of chemotherapy, you are acting out the Eucharist in being Christ for her…and she is being Christ for you (Mat. 25:36)

Oh…found your blog through a comment on Charming but Single.

Peace.
