If Jesus reveals true humanity, then faith must be large enough to hold the full range of human experience: anguish and hope, anger and trust, tears and praise. To follow him is to grow into that kind of humanity, spacious and honest, carried by the Spirit.

We keep waiting for God to arrive in spectacle and miss the quiet strength of grace standing right beside us.

If you encounter pain this week…your own or someone else’s…don’t rush past it. Sit with it. Offer your attentive presence instead of answers. Compassion often begins there…in the stillness where love learns to listen.

Merciful God, teach us to see you where we least expect you…in quiet strength, in suffering love, in the places that ache for healing. Where the world is torn, make us people of repair. Where hearts are heavy, make us gentle. Where pain runs deep, make us instruments of your peace.

In our polarized politics, “love” is often reduced to loyalty to our tribe. Jesus’ command breaks that open. Love cannot mean choosing sides against the image of God in others. And yet the temptation to shrink love to our party, our pew, our preferences, is constant.

Vocation matures when we stop chasing the life we imagined and embrace the one we’ve been given…the people, the work, the limitations that teach us how love takes shape. (1/2)

True vocation does not begin with what the world demands of us, but with what God delights to give through us.

Every act of care participates in resurrection. Every gesture of love becomes the breath of Christ moving through the world again.

Pain grows heavier when carried alone. Telling the truth does not erase it, but it allows another to shoulder some of the weight. A trusted companion is not someone who rushes to fix you or silence your tears with easy phrases, but someone who can sit with your story as it is.

Prayer is not about mastering techniques or forcing outcomes, but about learning to be present to God in the rawness of life.

Perhaps you carry your own story: the loneliness you didn’t expect, the disappointment that still stings, the grief that lingers long after the funeral is over. If the faith you inherited doesn’t make room for these realities, it’s no wonder it feels fragile.

Grief that is denied or buried doesn’t disappear. It festers, taking shape as anxiety, depression, or even physical illness. As Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler have shown, naming and expressing grief is essential for healing.
