The Lenten Adventure Forum

(Listening intently to Jesus, Claudia is encouraged and a thought occurs to her.)

Jesus, I am not so well-versed in the teachings of the Jews. Really, all I know is what our friends here have shared. There are several who are so knowledgeable and I have learned much.

I am so grateful to have you here with us (Claudia smiles). I was taught to use logic to make decisions, to determine what is true. I realize now how woefully inadequate logic can be. There are things that are miraculous, that defy logic and you have shown us that in a mighty way. Logic is man’s way, a way that does not provide for the power of God, the power of love.

Love defies logic in many ways. I feel as if not only my heart, but my mind have been renewed since knowing you. Is this what it feels like to be near to God, open to Him in all ways? It is as if the world has a whole new way of being, a revealing of wonders that cannot be constrained by the rules that we non-Jews have tried to exert upon it to have control, make sense of it.

Patience, you ask. Patience is hard for me but I will try and with your help I can do it, I think. With your help, I can do anything.
