09.02.2026 17:27 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thinking about tomorrow's gospel reading - "You are the light of the world."
When day comes, we step out of the shade
aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only weβre brave enough to see it.
If only weβre brave enough to be it.
β Amanda Gorman
"I hate all your show and pretense, the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won't even notice all your choice peace offerings. Away with your noisy hymns of praise! I will not listen to the music of your harps. Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living." Amos 5:21-24
