When a local Church becomes ‘one’ in our suffering and burden-sharing we can find our way through it together. If we lose this solidarity we are left to find the way through on our own.
Seek empathy, beloved. Seek compassion. Be graciously hospitable to the hurting and vulnerable and those who do not share your lived experiences. Ask the Lord to reveal your blind spots and listen intently, paying careful attention to the voices from within your community he brings your way. Then, do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk together, humbly with God.
Trust the Spirit of the Lord.
