This Gospel passage and the various reflections offered with it leave me almost speechless. I’m challenged, and delighted, and feel confirmed in my journey. Recently I dreamed of an almost unspeakably beautiful green tree, and I’m not usually one to remember my dreams, much less notice color. But green has always been my color, perhaps as a sign of constant hope, of fresh new life, of an “Amen” that gives a green light of “Yes” to God’s action.
