In this Sunday’s readings, we hear about the honest cost of belonging to God. Jeremiah and the psalmist share the pain of faithfulness. They describe what it is like to be mocked, misunderstood, and even rejected by people who should have been faithful listeners.
Jesus names the truth plainly. The Gospel reorders our deepest loyalties, sometimes unsettling even the bonds of a biological family, to unite with a larger family of faith.
Together, the lessons reveal a God who sees us and accompanies us, even when faithfulness leads us through tension, loss, or misunderstanding.
Looking forward to being in the sanctuary again and worshipping with you in person and online. Father Karl
