Act for the Sake of Life

The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on March 15, 2026.

Like that woman that the text in most of the world leaves unnamed, but some call the Illumined One. like her, we bring our own histories. The losses we've endured, the joys and satisfaction and meaning we have found in life. We bring that when we come to Jesus. We bring our questions, our honesty, our willingness to accept the gift that is offered…

Like Moses, we bring whatever gifts we have been given and our trust in God. Even if we begin to believe the voices all around us that are claiming that God has forsaken us… Like Moses, even then, we can act for the relief and nourishment of others. Acting in trust for the sake of life and healing, releasing the infinite grace that is already present…
