How am I responding to today’s scripture?
What does it look like to follow Jesus’ example amid unjust suffering?
Where have we lost the way of Love? How can we return to it?
How can people survive impossible situations? How have I survived?
How can we practice nonviolent resistance, today? Why choose this path?
