For 29 May 2026, Friday of week 8 in Ordinary Time , based on 1Peter 4:7-13, sent in from Croton-on-Hudson, New York, USA.
The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed.

Thank you, Beth, for the energy and hope your preaching inspires within me. A constant attitude of conversion animated by the Spirit of God is surely an antidote to feelings of impotence and overwhelm that is generated by the daily news of our polarized and broken world.
