Reflection

“The God of the bible is the God of liberation rather than oppression; a God of justice rather than injustice; a God of freedom and humanity rather than enslavement and subservience; a God of love, righteousness and community rather than hatred, self-interest and exploitation.” ~ Allan Boesak

Prayer

God of liberation,

Your son Jesus proclaimed that the Spirit of the Lord anointed him to bring glad tidings to the poor and liberty to captives. Those who believe in Jesus are still called to proclaim the good news of your liberating love to people who are poor, vulnerable, and enslaved. Free us from all that binds us, liberating us to lead lives of love and goodness. We pray in God’s name. Amen. 

Call to Action

What action can I take, or what one commitment can I make, that can help to liberate others from whatever enslaves them in our contemporary world.
