So today we remember —
not to glorify war,
but to glorify the God who calls us to a different way.
We remember so our children won’t have to.
And when the bugle sounds, and silence falls,
maybe — just maybe —
we’ll hear another voice as well:
the voice of Christ saying, “Follow me.”
Follow me into the wounds of the world.
Follow me into the quiet work of peace.
Follow me —
and love will show you how to become more than you ever dreamed you could be.
