The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, November 30, 2025.

We can approach our fear with compassion. We can have compassion for the other human beings caught up in inhumane systems. We can have compassion for the authors of cruelty who have turned so far away from their own humanity that cruelty seems good to them. We can be tender with our own fearful hearts. We can have compassion for our own fear. And we can claim our own courage.
