"We choose to walk in faith when we help our neighbors navigate their pain, giving them space to process and mourn. Together as a community, we identify the lies we have been told by empire..." Bethany Rivera Molinar in Voices of Lament #weareccda #voicesoflament
"We choose to walk in faith when we help our neighbors navigate their pain, giving them space to process and mourn. Together as a community, we identify the lies we have been told by empire. And we replace those lies with the truth that God deeply loves us and delights in who God has created us to be. We remind Brown children and adults alike that their presence in our community is a blessing and that they are altogether valued and needed to help our communities thrive." Bethany Rivera Molinar in Voices of Lament: Reflections on Brokenness and Hope in a World Longing for Justice

Divine companion, You are a God who rejects self-sufficiency even in your own personhood. That you exist in a multitude—in a sacred community not only with the cosmos but also within yourself—is a mystery to us. From Black Liturgies by Cole Arthur Riley #weareccda #ccdaprays
