“I don’t have the power to grant my next breath, but what if my next breath came from a well of deep gratitude? And the next breath? and so on. Then I would be living the ‘Eucharistic Life” where all is gifted grace.”
Pray, discern, and take Spirit-led action in the difficult and long work of restorative justice, community healing, and reconciliation.
