The first Marc My Sabbath.

Sunday, May 10, 2026. Mother's Day. The Sixth Sunday of Easter.

Isaiah said "Here am I, send me" — but only after he saw the Lord, saw himself, and grace touched his lips. The order matters more than the slogan does.

This homily gathers the week's daily words into one through-line. It listens carefully to three Mother's Day witnesses from yesterday's 1440 News digest. It names a complicated mother story I have spent years carrying. And it ends with the prayer the week has been writing toward without my knowing.

The answer does not have to be loud. It does not have to be impressive. It only has to be honest.

Lord, here I am. I am not perfect, and I am not without fear. I am willing. Send me.

I am not here to prove myself. I am here to make HIM visible.

Grace and Peace.

ABOUT MARC MY SABBATH

Marc My Sabbath is the weekly homily released on Sundays as part of Marc My Words. It gathers the prior six days of daily scripture words into one message, set against what is happening in the world, with music chosen to carry the weight that argument alone cannot.

Grace and Peace.
