Daily reflections for Lent by Jean Stokan and Scott Wright:
"We begin this Lenten journey, therefore, profoundly aware of our own failings and brokenness in our personal lives, but also as a people and as a nation. . . But we know even more that we are 'loved sinners,' that we are created in the image and likeness of God. We are human beings called to celebrate our human dignity, our human diversity, our gifts of love and service that we offer to God and to each other so that life may truly flourish. Precisely because we know to Whom we belong, we rely on Jesus Christ who saved and empowered us to follow his way of peace and nonviolence by living as resurrected beings in the midst of the world’s crosses."

"I wanted students to leave my classes not just better informed, but more prepared to relinquish the safety of silence, more prepared to speak up, to act against injustice wherever they saw it. This, of course, was a recipe for trouble."
- Howard Zinn (1922-2010)
