Despite the evidence around us, how can we awaken to God’s posture of love and liberation for the earth? On the fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Virginia Cumberbatch names the disruption, disappointment and injustice we face, while guiding us to the liberation movements of acknowledging, awakening, and anticipating God’s loving presence all around us and our world. [Isaiah 40:21-31]

Reflection

How might we renew our strength, our faith, in the midst?
How can the uncertainty or mystery of our human condition embolden us in our collective purpose for equity and liberation?
How can we entrust the big, the unknown, the scary to God’s hands?
