Day 8: God of Second Chances
Today’s readings are about second chances. We are not beyond redemption; all hope is not lost—even in the face of the grave and existential threat posed by climate change.

She has her master of theological studies degree from the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.
Today’s readings are about second chances. We are not beyond redemption; all hope is not lost—even in the face of the grave and existential threat posed by climate change.
Kinship in this era of loss and unraveling requires prophetic clamoring for large-scale societal transformations that preserve an inhabitable planet.
Today’s Gospel calls us to be bridges over the chasms of our word, tending our own wounds with compassion so that we can approach the chasm as the threshold of possibility and transformation. This is how we begin to heal.
