And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song; then hearts are brave again and faith grows strong, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Rev. Mark preached today about our anger toward God https://t.co/D2bAdt6O3C If you think God hasn’t responded to your prayers of anguish over injustice—it doesn’t mean God has been silent. God made you. Turn your anguish into action.
Today we recall that St. Patrick once described God as "the hope of those who toil," "the comforter of those in sorrow," "the way to those who wander," & “the lover of all good." God’s love is particularly for those who are hurting, and those who are doing good.
What did the father say, when the prodigal son’s brother said, “all sons matter”? He reminded him that love is not a zero sum game. But we need to celebrate when someone comes to themselves and returns home. Luke 15
We, as people of faith, are called by biblical mandate to respect the full humanity of each person and to resist practices which deny individuals their full humanity. Support for the #EqualityAct is consistent with our longstanding faith calling to fairness and justice. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️(3/3)
Rev. Mark, @liberalbeliever, asks, what makes the Samaritan different from the priest and the Levite? It’s not his politics. It’s his morals. The divide in our nation is not political, it’s moral. Either we care about people who need help, or we don’t. https://t.co/x8BobicjrJ
