Generosity is an expression of defiance that combats a sense of scarcity and fear. It's a spiritual practice and social practice that builds hope.
We continue to light candles symbolically every week, and let the light of God's gracious Word shine, as a reminder of God's presence with us through our life's journey. This has always been our mission and always will be.
Jesus extends an invitation to meet with a man who is an outcast to his people and it leads to transformation and redemption.
As the Church we gather in the presence of all the faithful, past and present, and live into our calling to be light for this moment in time, bringing hope and grace to the world.
In God's grace we are no longer divided, but made into one common humanity. In this is true freedom.
It is in both praying and pursuing justice that we hope to transform the broken world we live in and our own hearts in the process.
The grace and love of Jesus brings healing to our world, and we have the gift of his light to expand the sphere of his grace and healing to all.
Jesus calls us to forgive others and save them and us from further damage to our relationships and the social fabric.
Today is the day to move beyond complacency and embrace God's compassion for all, and to live with a spirit of generosity.
The need for justice in the world requires the voice of prophets, but perhaps even more importantly the companionship of true friends across divides who can reflect care and truth in our lives.
Throughout history, humans find themselves restless. Like days of old, we find ourselves in restless times again. This uncertainty can lead to poor choices, but as Christians we are called to find peace and hope in the grace of God.
God invites us to put aside the ways of death and choose the path of life, which brings love and peace for ourselves and every neighbor.
Jesus cut through rigid rules to reclaim the point of spiritual practices in the first place—promoting life and wellbeing.
The kingdom of God is a gift that comes only by God's grace, and we're called to be a part of the larger story: extending grace and hope to neighbors, strangers, and even our adversaries.
Jesus teaches us to live lightly, putting aside our focus on material possessions, and instead being vigilant so that we can respond to the needs of our times without fear.
The words of both Ecclesiastes and Jesus witness to the vanity of placing our trust only in worldly pursuits for ourselves. Instead, we're called to honor our relationship with God and one another.
We live a world in which many bonds of trust are frayed and broken. In Jesus, we receive a prayer and a spirit that helps us on the way, and we see a God worthy of our renewed trust who is capable of making things new.
Love of God and neighbor are intertwined, with devotion toward God providing the insight and calm to care for others.
How do we inherit the life God offers? We begin by creating a world in which every neighbor is loved and treated with dignity, even the foreigners in our midst.
At the center of the Christian message is a peace that is offered to each of us and is extended to everyone, creating communities and societies that reflect God's vision for wellbeing and justice.
