Jesus, in a story that is in all four Gospels, entered the temple in Jerusalem, confronted “business as usual”, and Mark’s Gospel reports that he said:
“Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer
for all the nations’?”
Mark 11:17 (RSV)
“Our prayers remain empty if we do not inhabit them;
if we do not mirror their desires
through the people that we are and seek to become.”
Seasons of the Spirit, 2009
