Anytime someone asks me what I do for a living, I tell them I’m a storyteller. Sure, I have a more formal title than that, but telling stories is what drives everything I do. I’m a firm believer that everyone has a unique and important story to tell. Those stories connect us and can teach us. Unfortunately, we sometimes become so insulated in our own lives that we fail to hear other people’s stories and the lessons they can teach us.

LK 9:11B-17

Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God,
and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,

“Dismiss the crowd

and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted place here.”
He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.”

and will declare to you the things that are coming.

On the evening of that first day of the week,

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying:
“Holy Father, I pray not only for them,
but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
so that they may all be one,
as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
that they also may be in us,
that the world may believe that you sent me.
