BREAKING BOUNDARIES
(Mark 7:24-37)
Preserving the past:
walled garden of tradition,
shunning outsiders.
Growth only happens
moving beyond boundaries
we make for ourselves.
Why did Jesus heal
reluctantly in one case,
freely another?
This question is ours:
sometimes we welcome ‘others’
and sometimes we don’t.
