Memory is more than recollection—it is the lifeblood of hope. Drawing from Alvin Ailey’s "blood memories" and the deep-rooted faith of Simeon, Anna, Mary, and Joseph, we explore how our embodied connections to the past sustain us in the waiting. When we remember—our ancestors, our communities, our sacred stories—we tap into a reservoir of resilience, carrying us forward with purpose and promise.

On this third Sunday of Epiphany, Christine explores the transformative power of suffering and love as embodied by the life and ministry of Jesus. Amidst the fear and division of today’s political and social climate, Christians are called to align with their "north star"—serving the poor, brokenhearted, and marginalized. Through prayer, creativity, and faithful action, we are challenged to embrace the refining fire of love, letting it awaken and guide us to bring hope and healing to a fractured world.
