Here’s
a litany of commitment (or closing words?) for Palm Sunday from Roddy
Hamilton’s Mucky Paws website.
Litany: Let the Stones Remain Silent
(inspired by Luke
19:39-40)
may
we remain here
to
whisper our hosannas
throughout
this week
in
every moment
when
the world goes silent
on
the cause of God
may
we remain
crying
out the beat
the
hosanna beat
that
marks the rhythm
of
this week
in
the sound of the breaking bread
hear
the broken hosanna
still
we believe in love’s way
in
the sound of coins being counted
hear
the betrayed hosanna
still
we trust in love’s choice
in
the twisting of the crown of thorns
hear
the tortured hosanna
still
we believe in love’s way
in
the sound of the lashes, all thirty-nine
hear
the scourged hosanna
still
we trust in love’s choice
in
the sound of nails being hammered
hear
the crucified hosanna
still
we believe in love’s way
in
the sound of silence
hear
the empty hosanna
still
we trust in love’s choice
may
we remain here
to
whisper our hosannas
throughout
this week
in
every moment
may
we remain with you
O
Jesus
still
believing
still
following
still
your companions
and
let the stones remain silent
