This isn't going to make it into the final draft of my paper so I'm gonna write it here, especially before I see Sinners today-
in our class on the Holy Spirit, we had a guest lecturer who shared about her experiences as a missionary in Fiji. She mentioned being asked to perform an exorcism.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:
“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

last class of my master's program. I finally realized why I found my New Testament professor's closing prayers to be so peculiar:
We spend hours learning and debating postcolonial interpretations. And then she prays because despite how much we want to know the truth, we do not know it.
