Lent

It’s easy to get so swept up in the “personal savior” narrative of Jesus that we miss entirely his culturally transformative life and value system.

What if our criminal legal system mirrored God’s merciful and redeeming love?

The second of the two greatest commandments, to love our neighbor as ourselves, amplifies the first, to love God above all things.

In the Transfiguration, we see a glimpse of the heavenly kingdom and the redemptive love of Jesus.

Amid a pandemic, social upheaval, and political mayhem, can we rediscover our concern and affinity for one another?

As Lent begins, how can we seek repentance and forgiveness through a restorative justice lens?

Today we come together to rejoice, for Jesus has risen from the dead!

“Tonight, we celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin, Satan, and death—the three ancient enemies of humankind.”

“In each place along the journey of Good Friday, we see Jesus profoundly vulnerable to those around him. And yet, Jesus’ vulnerability is not the same as weakness.”

On the first Holy Thursday, Jesus invited his human, fallible followers to sit at his table—and does the same for us today.

The Passion of Christ vividly reminds us that Jesus left our world as a condemned prisoner. Jesus endured torture and the humiliation of being stripped—not only of his clothes, but also his human dignity. 

What is pressing on our hearts that stops us from seeking redemption? What prevents us from asking for God to make us whole?
