It is striking how people with ME and carers share the exact same experience that Christ had of being ignored, being persecuted, being treated with derision and suspicion by the establishment.
What we can learn from Christ's experience, what we share with Christ as sons and daughters of God, is the dignity , majesty and power of the incarnation.
It is too easy in our situation to feel bad about yourself, inadequate, powerless, as if you are somehow not good enough or too much trouble. No one likes to feel they are making a nuisance of themselves or that they are being too demanding, but with ME, the way things are, you cannot possibly make too much of a nuisance of yourself nor demand too much.
The fact is we have to fight every day for everything, even peace of mind .
Christ showed us what it is to be fully human, fully alive, focussed on things that matter, true to your values, because He knew the Father who is infinite love.
Let us be bold then in God, having confidence in his sound guidance and strength to fight for truth , justice and our basic needs to be met rightly by the world. Amen.
