In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz responds to the Supreme Court’s Louisiana vs. Callais decision gutting the Voting Rights Act by sharing words from Congressman John Lewis, who understood the struggle for justice as “not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year” but of a lifetime or many lifetimes. She connects his charge to “let freedom ring” with Sunday’s gospel, where Jesus tells anxious disciples “don’t let your hearts be troubled”—reminding us that God dwells with us as both journey’s companion and resting place, offering strength and courage for the work that is ours to do.
