    “Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness.’ So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.”

    ~ Genesis 1:26a, 27a, 31a

     


     

    Loving Jesus, who walks with the sorrowful: give strength to all who walk the pilgrim journey though hatred, stereotypes, racial violence, and even death, that they may know your strength and comfort in the face of these troubles. Loving Jesus, walk with them. -or- Loving Jesus, walk with us. Loving Jesus, walk with them. -or- Loving Jesus, walk with us. Amen.

    ~ Drawing from I Want Jesus to Walk with Me” by Sr. Heather Josselyn-Cranson

     


    21 Days of Hope, as a devotion, is a journey through scripture, prayer, and resources that can move those of us who are white toward a closer understanding of racism in our country and the experience of our black and brown brothers and sisters.
