"The early church called everyone who had faith in Jesus a saint. And so today's celebration is not just about those christians whose names have been added to a calendar, it's for all of the faithful in every generation, past, present , and yet to come, who look to Christ in hope."

"In other words, this parable is for everybody...this is the lesson we need when we are tempted to believe that we are better, that we are favored, that we are good in a way that others are not."

"Lament is grief expressed. Sometimes it is at or to God, sometimes it is about the world and its injustices. Lamenting a loss or a grievance can be a powerful tool for mending a broken heart... Our God is big enough to handle our grief, especially when it grows too great for us to carry ourselves."

"We are participants in God's world and we are participants in making it right. Making a world in which everyone is valued, has what they need for thriving, not just a few, not even several, but all."

"We teach this prayer to our kids, stitch it onto pillows, and whisper it to ourselves in troubling times. But do we really appreciate what we're asking for when we pray it? This prayer is a gift of comfort as many prayers we know by heart are. but the things we hope for when we prayer the Lord's Prayer are more radical than we might realize if we switch to autopilot during its familiar cadence."

"Mary and Martha were women to be reckoned with. And the way this gospel story unfolds, we the readers seem to be forced to pit these two formidable women at odds with each other...but when we read it carefully, the text does not support this dichotomy."

"Over and over in Luke, Jesus shows us that the way we live into a right relationship with God – the way we justify ourselves, as the lawyer says – is by how we live into a right relationship with, and how we treat our neighbor."

"This peace that the apostles practice is a way of being. It's an attitude of hospitality that yearns for but does not expect or necessitate reciprocation."
www.historicchristchurch.org
"As Christians, we are called to have concern and care for everyone who has ever felt excluded - like an outsider - because Jesus had concern and care for everyone - especially the excluded and the outsider."
