Day 21: Grace, Mercy, & Forgiveness Rooted in Accountability
During this Lenten season, may we repent, reflect, and renew our commitment to speaking-up, standing-up, and showing-up for justice and liberation.

During this Lenten season, may we repent, reflect, and renew our commitment to speaking-up, standing-up, and showing-up for justice and liberation.
Ask yourself the question: In living for God, who am I best suited to serve? It may be the first step toward rebuilding that which has been broken.
Often standing up for justice is not the popular choice or and some remain seated. In so doing, they not only remain silent—they become complicit.
