Even in the Darkest Moments

God welcomes us into God’s abiding care in all moments and places. We always have a place at God’s table. Yet sometimes we feel that we don’t belong because we are inadequate in some way; or, we imagine that others don’t belong because they are different from us and inadequate for that difference. Even in the darkest moments, though, God dwells with us in Jesus Christ. This divine choice is an act of love of the one who is our Shepherd and Host, the one who is with us through all of life and welcomes us to the table.
