Mark 16:15
Words of Wisdom
God isn’t up or out there. God is right here, in this mess, and in the endless potentiality of what could be…. We love God by fully participating in the process of becoming: saying yes to this cosmic creative adventure of love taking form and all the messiness and complexity it entails.
Brie Stoner, Becoming Christ, Onening, Volume 7
Co-responsibility for the mission means coming together in communion to participate in moving the mission of the church forward. It is at the heart of synodality. Furthermore, this shared responsibility for the mission shapes every level of church life. It means listening to each other, working together, challenging one another, and encouraging each other.
Rev. Louis J. Cameli, America Magazine
Prayer
God With Us, we have heard your call to go into the world to share the Good News of your unconditional love. Give us the courage to participate in your mission to BE Love. Help us work together to accept responsibility for a flourishing future for all humanity and creation. Amen.
