Reflection from your Co-Pastors
June 30, 2022
The Power of Community, of Joy, and of Pride
Jesus said, “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt 28.20).
Jesus said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22.19). Jesus gives us hope, “We know that God makes everything work together for the good of those who love God and have been called according to God’s purpose” (Romans 8.28). There are no exclusions here. God calls us beyond this world’s understanding.
We have all been called according to God’s purpose. Jesus is always within us, with us in community, and with us in the mysterious reality of the Eucharist. These days of such disorder and regression, we can turn to family, friends, and community to stay buoyed up to do the task at hand. May we be reminded of the awesomeness of Christ Present and the joy not of this world.
In prayer, “Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassionately on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours” (Teresa of Avila).
Listen and be renewed.
Deep Peace to you today.
