Don't be so quick to jump to the celebration of the risen Christ. Sit at the foot of the Cross and consider the depths of His sacrifice and love.
Remember, there is no Resurrection without Crucifixion.
No Easter Sunday without Passion Friday.
No empty tomb without the Cross.
Sisters, if you wait around for all the brothers to agree on what to call you, you’ll wait your life away. Follow Jesus. Find acceptance in His affection for you. Share the gospel. Study at His feet like Mary of Bethany. Love God.
Do people good. Serve with gladness & humility.
We’re following a God we can’t see,
for a lifetime we can’t measure,
to a heaven we can’t comprehend,
because of grace we didn’t earn.
Be patient with each other.
We're all looking through a knothole at eternity trying to figure our lives out today.

Social justice is not the totality of the Gospel...but the Gospel without a commitment to neighbor, the vulnerable, justice, and the common good (aka social justice) is not a faithful Gospel.
The Gospel not only saves but also pursues the Kingdom of God on earth as in heaven.
"Silent Saturday" is a powerful reminder that just because God "appears" silent or absent doesn't mean that God isn't at work and in control.
These are such difficult and challenging days but take heart. Press on. Remember, we're not alone. God is with us. God is not yet done.
In His final days, Jesus the King borrowed a donkey, washed dirty feet, ate with misfits, forgave enemies, and went to the Cross because of His love for humanity.
This is grace. Amazing Grace.
