Friends, who do you carry with you? Who informed who you are and inspires who you will become?
What fires are lit that are consuming and seeking to destroy parts of you and what is ablaze with the fire of the holy spirit in you for the good works of God?
There is a lot of division in our world... but there is also courage, faithfulness, and love. And in the end, we know that love wins.
Pray for everyone you know and know of– the good, bad, destructive, and joyful.
Prayer takes courage. It takes courage to talk to God and to open yourself to what might be shared in return.
The fight for justice is fraught with physical and spiritual dislocation. Do not give up. The blessing of God is near, you just have to keep at it. Luckily you are not in it alone.
What do you have more than enough of, and what will it take for you to share your excess?
We must use our own personal power- power gifted to us from God through scripture, prayer, and relationships- to build a just and loving world for all creation. Every day.
Love yourself. Love your neighbor. And when you do- you love God.
What are things we can do this week – either in our personal or communal life- that helps us hear the Good News of Jesus in its entirety?
