Pause+Pray

Today we will celebrate Christ’s resurrection, as rightly we should. But the cleansing effect of our Lenten sacrifices can stay with us for however long we choose to remember them.

During Lent, as we witness the fullness of Jesus’ story, we see over and over again that we have a God who fully understands the range of our human emotions. 

Francis of Assisi was born into privilege and gave it up to embrace simplicity and poverty. Could you do the same?

The COVID-19 quarantine in much of the world invited us to look twice at what we took for granted. We've mourned many losses and promised to appreciate blessings when they resumed.

Jesus knows what it is to suffer. His passion and death reveal to us that God can use anything--even the greatest evil and suffering--for a redemptive purpose.

While incidents of violence range in scope and size, they all leave damage and suffering in their wake. Such violence stands in sharp contrast to the beauty of life that God created.
