Living God, along the path of our lives, we encounter contradictions. We can find ourselves torn between truth on opposing poles. Messy complications all too often replace simplicity. Instead of seeking partial solutions and settling for illusions and half-truths, help us to enter into the paradoxes of life itself. Give us your wisdom that allows us to remain in the tension and rest in the truth that is found in your cross. Through the Resurrected Body of Christ, Amen.
