2 Corinthians 8:7-15
“What do we owe each other? In June of 2021, this is the question, in uncertain and grief-filled days, in a deeply divided and mistrustful country, in exhausted times. Each of us, out of our own prayerful discernment, must decide when and how to give ourselves fully to community, to this faith community and beyond. Any time you invest your time and your heart to a community, it is a leap of faith. And as you do it, when you can do it, remember, remember “the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.” Christ lived and died and lives again in you, and for you, in all we carry, in the triumphs and tragedies of our lives. And not just for you, but for everyone you meet.”
