We move closer to the heart of the season: Jesus and his cross. As Sufjan Stevens sings: “There is no shade in the shadow of the cross.” The cross is where suffering is revealed … and then refracted to healing. We acknowledge brokenness. Of the environment. Of human relationships. Of deep-seated hatred.

In our prayer we cry to God: Do not leave us in the depths of our sin–separation, brokenness, pain, but give to us the fullness of your redeeming grace. A grace that turns us outwards to heal, mend, and love.

Nate Crary and Luther Seminary student Hannah Sackett lead this week’s episode of the Liturgy of the Hours.

Benny Roberts will join us for Holy Conversations at 11 a.m. Central today on Zoom. The Zoom link will be included in the community announcements email.

Roberts stewards Urban Ventures’ programming geared toward helping secondary youth explore post-secondary options, including supporting the Act Six team. He brings a wealth of leadership experience, a passion for youth development, and innovation to his role as the college and career director for Act Six. He graduated from Webster University in St. Louis, where he majored in sociology and focused on communications and leadership. We hope you can join us as he guides our conversation.
