Lord Jesus –
There is much to witness in this text.
A spirit of divination. Deep annoyance. Loss of hope. Seizing, attacking, flogging. Innermost cells and fastened feet.
Praying and singing hymns at midnight. A door-opening, chain-unfastening earthquake. A washing of wounds and baptizing.
Light breaking forth in the darkness of night.
May it be so.
Amen.
