Jesus says that he is with us every single day until the end of the age. That brings me great comfort but it also brings me discomfort. In the Gospels, we often see Jesus holding up a mirror to people so that they can see the ways they are not following him. I have heard the cries of persons of color. They and my savior ask me to look within my soul, in my actions and inaction, in my words and in my silence, in my feelings, and in my thinking. I have been asked to look for the ways I trespass against persons of color and against our savior. And I have been asked to listen because as is always the case with sin, I have sins that are “known and unknown” to me.
