INVOCATION

"Be Opened" by Malcolm Guite

Be opened. Oh if only we might be!
Speak to a heart that’s closed in on itself:
‘Be opened and the truth will set you free’,
Speak to a world imprisoned in its wealth:
‘Be opened! Learn to learn from poverty’,
Speak to a church that closes and excludes,
And makes rejection its own litany:
‘Be opened, opened to the multitudes
For whom I died but whom you have dismissed
Be opened, opened, opened,’ how you sigh
And still we do not hear you. We have missed
Both cry and crisis, we make no reply.
Take us aside, for we are deaf and dumb
Spit on us Lord and touch each tongue-tied tongue.

TEXT

John 1:35-39

TAKEAWAYS

1 What is a food I used to hate and now I’m crazy about it?

2 What is a change I made in my life that surprised me?

3 What is a change I’ve wanted to make for a long time? What is a move I’ve been putting off and it’s time to take the first step?

PRACTICE

Try one new taste per day. Give an old taste another chance. Keep a taste journal for the week.

RESOURCE

Watch Babette's Feast! You can watch the trailer here.

BENEDICTION

And when you partake

Of food and drink,

May your taste quicken

To the gift and sweetness

That flows from the earth.

Amen

John O’Donohue
