βChrist is king,β I say, in an anti-monarchy, anti-authoritarian sense, because Jesus Christ is the only man who should be king.
βLet me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families β some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals β they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurdwara, and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God, for the good of all people β the good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen.β
One of the best things I've done for my faith is learn about the nuances in the original meaning of "Kyrie, eleison." It's almost always translated as "Lord, have mercy," and while this made sense in the way the word "mercy" was used centuries ago, it doesn't really line up with the contemporary English meaning. Today, "have mercy" feels pretty solely like pleading to a judge to be pardoned for a crime and can make the church feel like a courtroom rather than a hospital for sinners. However, the original English (and Greek) meaning was far broader and quite far from this legalistic meaning. "Eleos" was the Greek translation in the Septuagint for the Hebrew word "ΧΦΆΧ‘ΦΆΧ," or Chesed, which refers to a steadfast love grounded in the covenant. Furthermore, while we now know they aren't actually etymologically related, "eleos" sounds a lot like "elaion" (olive oil, used for light and medicine), and the Church Fathers (like St. John Chrysostom) associated the two deeply. When early Christians prayed "Kyrie, eleison," what they meant was something closer to: "Lord, pour out Your healing grace unto me and soothe me." They weren't so much pleading for a mitigation of punishment as they were pleading for God to hold to His Covenant with His people, which entails the treatment of sins and comfort through distress. So mentally, when I hear or say it, I translate it internally to "Lord, heal us," or "Lord, be gracious." This really helps me genuinely mean it and put my heart into it when I say "Kyrie, eleison" during the Divine Liturgy, or another liturgy.
hi everybody. I don't often make religious posts since I've experienced a lot of toxicity when I've tried to in the past, but I really feel the need to do so now. Forgive the use of a burner account. My grandfather, Marty, has been experiencing kidney failure for several years now and has been on dialysis daily to stay alive. He is deeply in need of a kidney donation, but has been unable to find a donor and has been waiting. Recently, he fell and fractured a vertebra in his back, which has caused further complications.
Marty is a deeply intelligent man. He was an aeronautical engineer before his retirement and is also incredibly knowledgeable about the natural world around him. He is loving and kind and a very very important figure in my life and the lives of my family. When I've been at my lowest, I've always been able to find peace and tranquility by his side. I'm asking, please, if every religious person who sees this could pray for him and his health. I can't lose him now. Regardless of your denomination or even of your faith, if you could please pray for him, I would be eternally grateful.
I apologize for the spam in the tags, but I want this post to be seen by as many people as possible.
