Gales closed the bridge to high-sided vehicles. I was
driving an ordinary car, but the buffeting it took as we crossed the Tay was
slightly alarming. Ever since an accident in front of us nearly resulted in our
car soaring off the San Francisco Bay Bridge, I’ve had misgivings about the
safety of bridges.
I once explained to school kids that Jesus is a bridge, a
bridge between us human beings and our holy Father. The Jesus Bridge is wholly
reliable, though, and there is never any danger of anyone soaring off into the
atmosphere.
The current Pope declared recently that Christians should be
bridge-builders, not wall-builders. When we build bridges between people, we
are part of Christ’s workforce.
May we all build bridges today, whether in action or in
fervent prayer. Both are powerful. And we can trust that when Jesus is the
foreman, the bridges we build will be safe.
