June 29, 2025: "What is possible" with Christine Monica Zuba
Description
Preaching for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Christine Monica Zuba offers a reflection on "what is possible" with the power of witness and encounter: "The LGBTQ+ community, and specifically the transgender and gender queer community, are likewise under attack, simply for who we are. At every governmental level, rights are being denied, as politicians strive to erase our very existence. And still, just as the apostles remained visible witnesses of Christ, we too remain visible in our neighborhoods and in our faith communities. We will not be erased."Christine Zuba (she/her) is a transgender Catholic woman from Blackwood, NJ. A lifelong Catholic, she is a Eucharistic Minister and a facilitator of LGBTQ+ ministry at her parish. She is also on the Board of Directors of Fortunate Families, Inc. Christine transitioned as her true self in 2015 and was one of four transgender women to meet Pope Francis following his monthly general audience in September 2024.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/06292025 to learn more about Christine, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
