Thank you Linda, for your wisdom. So many folks are stunned and frightened and so many impacted by the devastating realities we are watching take place “in our name.” May we all be open to the ways in which we can respond daily and live with prayerful courage.
This reminds me of something that Joan Chittister noted once in an article concerning Advent.. She said "The Talmud teaches that every person should wear a jacket with two pockets. In the one pocket, the rabbis say, there should be a note that reads, 'I am a worm and not completely human.' And in the second pocket, the rabbis say, the note must read, 'For me the universe was made.'"

Beautiful. Thank you for this! I saved that Sartre quote. It’s not on us to save the world. Our savior already came. Thanks be to God
