Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

I wish I could say that violence is not part of our shared American political life.

It shouldn’t bea part of our shared life, but it was today. I pray that it will not be tomorrow or in the days and weeks to come.

I’m glad the former president was not seriously hurt. I am heartbroken that at least one person has been killed by the shooter.

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

"Cremas is a great holiday dessert drink alongside another traditional Haitian dish, soup joumou, which has been eaten since the victory of Haitian independence against France in 1804. Prior to independence, Haitian slaves were forbidden from eating the soup. Since the revolution, the soup has become a symbol of freedom and is often enjoyed on New Year’s Day."

"Seeking signs or seeking power
Seeking safety, seeking home
Day by day and hour by hour
We press on toward the unknown
Always seeking, moving onward
Following where God may lead"

"...one of the most defining ancestral narratives of an Israelite’s life would be the Exodus narrative. Joseph is advised to move in direct opposition to the way his ancestors moved. He must go toward Egypt instead of away. It takes great courage to consider the ingrained patterns of your history and blaze a new trail."

"Often the community we begin a journey with is not the same community that supports us throughout our journey’s length. 'The Golden Pilgrimage' depicts the kind of surrogacy that occurs when a friend, a sibling, a neighbor, a father, or a pastor steps in as a much-needed friend."

"When we consider Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’ story as refugees, fleeing from an enraged despot, I wonder about the people who came alongside them. We know the example of the Magi, who protected the Holy Family by going home another way. Yet, surely, there were others too... I give thanks for the strangers who became friends and family through solidarity with the Holy Family, wanting a better world, not only for themselves, but for a refugee family too."
