Kristofer and God's Transformative Power (as Witnessed in a Cicada)

God's Transformative Power (as Witnessed in a Cicada)

As the 17-year cycle of cicadas unfolds in the mid-atlantic region, Kristofer invites us to witness the transformative power of God as seen in this creature. Notice, in the three pictures included in the video, how they capture moments in this insect's life cycle. As we ponder how we as a congregation and community center at St. Francis are emerging ourselves, this is a fascinating lens through which to look. As we crawl out of the depths that this pandemic has required, how has the world changed? How have we? What shells are we breaking out of? How will we contend with the disorientation of this time? What will it feel like to fly? The humble saint of Assisi calls us all to pay attention to the incarnate nature of God and God's presence in all things. Behold the transformative power of God around and within us.
