Almighty Trans* God

Trans* God
You are the
God of Abram to Abraham
of Mara to Naomi
Saul to Paul

You call us by our Chosen Name

You are the God of Joseph of the
Rainbow, Princess, Coat of their mom
who found a family in Egypt

Jesus who found Kinship with
Mary, Martha and Lazarus
You understand the importance of
Belonging somewhere other than with blood relations

Almighty Trans* God of Abraham, you know
That sometimes you have to pack up
and leave to find your true home and acceptance

And that the journey might have lions
and dangers and toils and snares

And yet here is your promise
You will see us
You will accept us
You will call us by our chosen Name

You will always be our God
Will always be your people (if we want
not in any kind of creepy way)

Jesus, Person created without any sperm
who chose to be male
Divine Trans* entity

God, the royal They
The great NonBinary

Holy Spirit
The She who can impregnante
A Woman

God you are the Almighty
the God of Many Mounds:
Which means both many mountains
to accesss and worship you
(note the inclusiveness)
and the God of many breasts
to feed every one
(Again inclusive and accessible)

We translate that
Trans* word as Almighty
Almighty Trans* God indeed!

Almighty Trans* God
You not only
See
Accept
Affirm
and Celebrate
But especially
Protect
all of our Trans* Siblings
during this turbulent time

Almighty Trans* God
May
we forge
many mighty Trans* Elders
make their names almighty
We Pray
Amen.

May be an image of text that says 'If you're visiting family for Easter, and they won't respect your gender, remind them that Jesus's chromosomes are canonically XX, as he inherited all of his human DNA from Mary. Unless of course they think that Mary was actually a child-bearing XY cis woman, which is also a delightful and realistic possibility. So either Jesus is Trans or Mary is Intersex. Or it could also be both! Happy Easter Day of Trans Visibility!'

TDOV, Resurrection

Jesus I can’t see you
I don’t know
I’m in mourning

And Jesus scooped us under her wings
And let us touch the wounds—know what it’s like to have to leave parts, family and self behind on offer to resurrect in visible and invisible ways

And God whispered once again that we are fiercely and wonderfully made

Until we could find ourselves again
Blessed Trans Visibility Day
May you be you full self
And find places of sanctuary and belovedness in your life

*and for all those who say screw it
You can’t see me
It is not time
Or it’s not about Jesus

Yessssss
Because its your day to do it your way
And it is beautiful to be seen
And be called by your chosen name
In the right context

God of Pronouns, A Prayer

O God of Pronouns,
We give Praise to the Great One
the one who is identifiable as God

“I am, what I am” you say!
The great They!

The Incarnate He and She–
the God of Trans-Being!

Impregnating Mary,
Fathering God,
Breastfeeding God of Many Mounds/Breasts*
God of Mountains and Might!

You shatter all stereotypes!

Making every single person, male and female, in your image.
Exactly in your image!
male-and-female, intersex, nonbinary,

Spectrum, rainbow God who put your promise for nonviolence
in the symbol for queer love,
before humanity knew

Because you knew
who had Joseph, who could not sleep with a woman
in a beautiful lady’s cloak, perhaps of rainbow colors,
before we knew,
you knew.

God of pronouns, who said, you can call me
he or she or they; whatever makes you feel closest to me.

Invisible and Visible God: on this day where visibility is not enough
where celebration, belovedness, affirmation and acceptance is the bare minimum

Remind us that you are the God of Pronouns,
so of course you affirm and celebrate them.

God of Saul/Paul, Jacob/Isaac, Mara/Naomi, Abram and Sarai and Abraham and Sarah–

God of Joseph of the Coat of Many Colors, of the Ethiopian Eunuch of the Virgin Mary,

God of all the found families in the Bible.

Remind us that you affirm us in our full identity: Name, Pronoun, Found Family, All of it.

And for this we give you thanks and praise, to the great I am, the great They/Them.

Thank you God!

Amen.

*In Hebrew the word we often translate as Almighty means God of many mounds which can mean the God of many mountains (places to worship) or the God of many breasts (places to get nourishment)
