Second Sunday After Pentecost - June 6, 2021 10:30 am
                                                    In our gospel text this
                                                    week, Jesus points out
                                                    that all those around us
                                                    are our brothers and
                                                    sisters. As we are in this
                                                    week of grief and
                                                    sadness, over the
                                                    injustice suffered by our
                                                    Indigenous sisters and
                                                    brothers, we have no
                                                    words for such pain. We
                                                    stand with and we grieve
                                                    with our Indigenous
                                                    brothers and sisters and
the many children in this world who suffer and are violated. Let us open to
the love of our God for all of us. We hold one another in Love. We pause and
we remember those precious young lives that were lost and we grieve with
each one of those families and their communities who now struggle with
these losses.
