 Don’t get comfortable 

As Christians, we not only face the hardships of daily existence, but also the challenges arising from living out a faith that demands justice. When it comes to justice, there is no comfort zone for Christians to sit back and watch. The gospels and the long tradition of Catholic social teaching call us to more. No matter your gender, race, or ethnicity, you must be willing to act: to challenge the racist or sexist joke, to support minority-owned businesses, to see yourself in the "other." Catholic leaders are now especially to stand with people of color who are disproportionately infected with and dying from COVID -19. How are you being called beyond your comfort zone? TODAY'S READINGS: Hosea 14:2-10; Matthew 10:16-23 (387). “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves.”
