In her voyage across the ocean of this world, the Church is like a great ship being pounded by the waves of life’s different stresses. Our duty is not to abandon ship but to keep her on her course. ~ St. Boniface (Office of Readings)

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

“Grace is always ‘despite’ and not ‘because of’ the human condition. God’s gracious action is never ‘consequently’ but always ‘nevertheless.’ It is life from the dead and the justification of the ungodly not the reward of the righteous.” — Karl Barth

St. Francis said “preach the gospel at all times; use words when necessary” to emphasize the proclamatory, evangelical value of acts of mercy and charity, not to denigrate the value of verbal proclamation. In order to preach the gospel at all times, it is necessary to use words.

Just got back from an emotional ecumenical Good Friday service put together by local UCC, UMC, and PCUSA congregations. Truly love when churches do this. There will be another one tonight put on by local ABCUSA, Free Methodist, Church of the Nazarene, and Assemblies of God congregations.

Kings were anointed on their heads by the authority of priests and prophets. But this King is anointed on his feet by a friend, and a woman, this King who will reign crucified from the throne of the Cross, forever subverting what humans think they know about power and authority.
