Today’s gospel: After making breakfast with his wounded hands Jesus confronts Peter, whose betrayal was 2nd only to that of Judas. He does not ask “Who do you say I am?” (this is not a theology test), but “Do you love me?” A profound call to conversion and service.

What “happened” here was white supremacy. It’s ok—you can say the words.
Joined the pastors of Mt Pleasant Baptist Church, St. Mary Baptist Church, & Greater Union Baptist Church at what remains of Mt Pleasant after an arsonist set fire to these 3 churches. What happened here was evil, but these communities of faith overcame evil with good.

To be one of the 162k people who followed @rachelheldevans on Twitter is to feel the loss of a friend we never met. Her vibrant and generous voice, her capacity for joy, indignation, and hope offered a glimpse of the Beloved Community. She will be so missed!

What a terrible loss.
The world has lost a thoughtful, caring Christian voice and many have lost a beloved friend. Sending love and light to all who mourn the loss of @rachelheldevans today. Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon her.

More likely than not. Peace Pilgrim was friends with DD’s close associate Eileen Egan, which is how I learned of her. Wrote an essay about her in my book “Blessed Among All Women.”amazon.com/Blessed-Among-All…

Venerable Juana de la Cruz (d 5/3/1534), quoting Jesus, in mystical revelation: "All who seek in me a father will find in me a father. And those who seek in me a mother, a husband, a bride, a friend, a neighbor, or a companion will find in me everything they desire."

Juana, abbess of a convent of Franciscan tertiaries, received permission to preach publicly. She said she had been conceived as a man but changed in utero by God to become a woman. She delighted in the female and male aspects of God, a conjunction reflected also in the human soul

(4/6) "What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Do they not spring from the aggressiveness of your bodily desires? You want something which you cannot have, and so you are bent on murder; you are envious and cannot attain your ambition, and so you quarrel and fight." (4:1-2)
