Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found
favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and
bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.'
Luke 1:30-31

Voice

To be a Christian is to live dangerously, honestly, freely - to step
in the name of love as if you may land on nothing, yet to keep on
stepping because the something that sustains you no empire
can give you and no empire can take away.
Cornel West

Prayer

God, like Mary, we are afraid. Give us that courage that no empire
can give us and no empire can take away. Amen.
