Reflections from your Co-Pastors
August 24, 2020
Monday! Such possibility if we can get ourselves going with another week of fires burning and smokey days, one week closer to moving into Fall and out of Summer, continuing in pandemic and in politics. I offer to refresh us with…
The ending of yesterday’s homily:
‘Who do YOU say that I am’
is the beginning of deeper contemplation and discernment of what discipleship means for each of us and our community. As a community of individuals, we each bring Christ just the way we are. Our task at this time of restraint and isolation may be to become more community. You are welcomed to offer your ideas of new ways to belong and participate and contribute in this time of global transformation. Just proceed from
Who do YOU say that I am?
Is Jesus asking that we look into the mirror and see ourselves in Christ? Is Jesus asking us to look into the mirror and see Christ in ourselves?

And, today’s meditation from R. Rohr on love growing,
Love growing from the 2nd naiveté. The outcome of our personal struggle and suffering is the experience of an all-inclusive, big God who loves and waits for all of us, even those we keep away from: The Ability to Hold Paradox Father Richard Rohr - 9-24-2020
______________________
And, yesterday’s Mass song urging us to know that we have the power to bring Love.
Sing…refreshed by our recessional from yesterday’s Mass: Go Make a Difference, sung by Bill Smith. Song licensed from Oregon Catholic Press - 604130
Go, make a difference with the God within, who is immediately around us in every form. Go…embrace….love….sing.

Our Service Recordings and More

During the service we honored Reverend Dr. C.T. Vivian, a civil rights leader and ordained pastor -- who never stopped fighting for justice. Throughout his life, he believed that his work was inspired, guided, and sustained by God. For him, the civil rights movement, and everything he and others did in it was spiritual. “That’s why it was non-violent,” he said. He stood in the front lines of the fight for equality.
On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
