Gracious and loving God, may only your Truth be spoken and only your Truth be heard ☩ in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
When we need help, what do we usually do? Well, I suppose it depends on the kind of help that we need. But, generally, we turn to a friend or family member. Need help moving something? You call a friend with a truck and a strong back. Other times, we need an expert, and so we go to someone like a mechanic, surgeon, or seamstress to have them work on the issue in exchange for money. But still, some problems can’t be solved even by an expert, and so we look to elected officials and politicians to address issues like climate change, foreign trade agreements, or getting a road repaved. But there are still yet other issues that no political system or party can address – the question of how we overcome the divisions that are tearing apart our society, the angst we can feel about the meaning of our lives, the fear we have of our impending deaths, the guilt we carry for the mistakes we have made, the uncertainty we have in society and in the Church about how we emerge from this pandemic. Where do we turn to for help with those sorts of issues?
