On Saturday evening, February 25, Linda Kaiel gave a wide-ranging reflection, reminding us that light can be found in surprising corners. She shared “out of the mouths of babes” stories, retold her experience working with the Missionaries of Charity sisters in India, and looks at the words that Isaiah speaks through a contemporary lens.
In the Isaiah text, God cries out, “Hineni” (“Here I am”), calling us out of darkness and into light.
This call today is for us to bear that light, says Linda, “to advocate for others, actively satisfy the afflicted, remove oppression, to bestow bread on the hungry, nurture our planet, insist on affordable housing… What relationships can each of us initiate and/or nurture to be co-creators of that ‘future filled with hope?'”
