I sit -- a newspaper in one hand and this gospel reading in the other. I am bombarded by headlines alerting me to a reality that arises from fear -- violence can erupt at any time and in any place in our world today. Mark's gospel seems to invite me to a very different kind of alertness, a watchfulness that is not grounded in fear but rather in hope. How do balance the realities of this contrast?

What I hear: I hear that there are many things and realities to wake up to. I hear that I do not see everything, that there is more that God wants to reveal. The image I have is a cherished one, memories of early morning, my father walking in with saucepan and spoon making a horrendous racket in an effort to wake us sleepyheads up.
