In the world around us, specifically lately, there is so much troubling news constantly coming our way, being thrown at us what feels like is 24/7. We don’t often have spaces to grieve or places to lament.

Please do not lose hope. Seen from the biggest perspective, we have come from Love and are to return to Love. May we be able, with God’s help, to leave the world more at ease, more at peace. Keep at the work of making things better.
To quote our beloved Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry:
Now, may God continue to hold us all in those everlasting arms.

So, what can we do to help the world know more peace? We can begin with our own hearts. Cultivate humility in order to open more fully to the work of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sends to us to lead us into all peace. Peace must begin with US before it can grow outward into the world. Are we willing to let peace grow?

The Liturgy of today is so full of extraordinary themes and invitations to us. We are in the season of the Great 50 Days of Easter – a time that summoned the early Christian community to reflect on the mysteries of the faith they celebrated at Easter. Now, and for 50 days time, is given for us to further reflect on these mysteries and deepen the faith that was confirmed or renewed in our Baptismal promises at Easter. Now is the time to seriously hear God’s voice in new ways.
