As we gather as the church on this first Sunday of Lent, I echo our devotion author's prayer:
Help us to be a community of love where all are welcome and hearts find healing.
How might we live even further into the reality of being a community where we "stand, shoulder to should and hand in hand, precisely with people who are very different from ourselves and, with them, here a common word, say a common creed, and offer mutual forgiveness so as...to become a common heart"? What a beautiful vision of the church.
