Dearest friend @tinu reflects on friendships w/ white people. It’s pointed, salty & ideal for repeat meditations.
Once when vacationing together, a hotel associate looked at us, & treated me as a guest but Tinu as if she worked there. I was rage-stunned; Tinu was magnanimous.

I ask all of you to join me in praying for Father Isaac Achi, of the Diocese of Minna in northern Nigeria, who was killed last Sunday in an attack on his rectory. So many Christians continue to be the target of violence. Let us #PrayTogether for them.

Our communities are also called to go out to the various types of “boundaries” there might be, to offer hope to those stationed on the existential peripheries, who have not yet experienced, or have lost, the strength and the light that comes with meeting Christ #OctoberMissionary

Christians should not need to believe that this is the most important election ever in order to vote. We act in politics because it is one essential forum in which we can love our neighbor. This is the orientation of our hearts as we vote.

Whether you & I ever meet or not, my vision for you is you find solace from language today; that you garner restraint to not say words that cause more fear or severance, but give the ones that propel wisdom, utility, reparation, mercy. I hope you can live your talk this way.
