My focus this year in my parish community and my racial justice ministry is building community. Connecting to what Popovic said, what are the daily, mundane yet intimate ties that bind us together? My call focuses on gathering us together and creating safe spaces to share and spaces for imagination and hope. Through the Gospels, Jesus guides us on how to live and be in the world. Our hope comes in knowing that Jesus continues to walk before us, beside us, behind us and next to us. Jesus and the Holy Spirit guide us through the smoke and hurricanes, invisible wires laid to cage us within the framework of our society and the unimaginable hurt of losses. When we focus on community, we can embrace and love one another the way Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God love us -- Wholly for the benefit of all. It is not about you or me but about us. We cannot heal without one another.
