Questions Without Answers – Let the Music Speak” Led by Greg Moses and the Music Committee
Text of the Reading and Sermon after the video
Reading
Adapted from “All That We Do Not Know” by Susan L. Suchocki
Day by day, month by month, year by year we are confronted with all that we do not know, that we do not understand, that we do not grasp.
Sometimes we are humbled by this knowledge and say: God, it is too wonderful for me to comprehend, but I know this universe is more grand and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.
Sometimes we are saddened by this knowledge and say: O merciful spirit, we need to have the burden of hurt and suffering removed from us.
Sometimes we are angered by this knowledge and say: In the name of justice and compassion—if it be in our power—give us the strength and ability to right the wrongs, for we do not, nor does any person in the world, deserve this.
Sometimes we are made joyous by this knowledge, and we say: Spirit of life who blesses our world, we rejoice and cheer for our glorious life.
Sometimes we are made curious by this knowledge and say: Holy and inexplicable, is this life?—I have no idea what happened or how it happened, but somehow, someway, something changed, and I am free to explore new ways of being. Please always let me continue to search for the unknown in myself and others.
