VULNERABLE

On an impulse, someone contemplating the life and death of Jesus decided to lie down on her back on the grass of an open field with her arms totally stretched out as if on the cross.  She remained in that position in a mood of exploring prayer, thinking about how she felt in that position.  Vulnerable.  That was the single word that captured what she was feeling.  To follow Jesus Christ involves trusting that a life with greater vulnerability is richer, and that opening ourselves in risky embrace is not irresponsible, but life-giving.
