Dear Friends,

 Today's meditation features Joyce Rupp talking about discouragements that happen in life to all of us and how she found renewed hope in kindred spirits around her committed to "making good trouble" and in Jesus inviting us: "Come to Me All You Who are Weary."

We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.
