I'll give them a name better than son or daughter

Today is a solemn day. Christ has carried His Cross, taken the insults, suffered tremendous pain, and has died. Seemingly all hope is lost. The Man who claimed such riches defeated by wood, nails, and hatred. It is a day to reflect on the cost paid by Christ who laid down His life for us. What a blessing, such grace, from a terrible event. Let us share in the grief of His mother who saw her Son take from her, let us too endure the loss of friendship that Mary felt, let us experience the devastation that disciples did. But we know not to lose to hope, we know what is coming. So in amongst the grief and reflections on the cost of sin, let us stay at the foot of the cross and worship and give praise. Let us stay true to Our Lord on this Good Friday.

abandon all shame. abandon guilt. there’s no point in that. only make room for the knowledge that you are forgiven and will be forgiven millions of times. do what you wish with that.

Pray for the repose of Renee Nicole Good tonight, who by all accounts lived up to her surname, who was a witness to state terrorism murdered in cold blood by an ICE agent in Minneapolis today, and pray for her son and her wife and her friends and family and her city she left behind. And pray for this country, where state-sanctioned violence like this is only getting worse. Stand up for your neighbors, abolish ICE, abolish borders, help us imagine a better world and help us live that better world today.

We need your help to repair our tent, buy healthy food and medicine, or even just a blanket to keep us warm. Please donate and don't leave us to suffer. Please donate to us.

Unfortunately, my sister Ronza will die—this is what awaits her if help does not arrive today. I am writing now to stop this sentence from becoming our reality tonight, while she is still breathing.

Silence is killing Ronza faster than wounds. Every ignored post steals minutes from her life. I beg you, pause here—donate, share, and choose mercy before this silence becomes permanent for her.

Every ignored second is a verdict. Ronza is breathing now, not later. Please stop scrolling, break the silence, donate today, and choose life before this post becomes an obituary for my little sister.

I am begging before dawn breaks. Ronza is alive right now, not a memory. Please don’t let indifference finish what war began—pause, share, donate, and give my sister another chance to breathe today.

what a gift to have the chance to incarnate God in oneself and in the world every day

merry christmas my friends remember that in loving one another and ourselves we bring our God who is love into this world and this very present moment
