The course we are charting today takes us from our self-centered, worrisome lives to the expansive love that God has for us and wants us to have for each other. We are weaving in between all the current worries of our time and place, our fears of what the future holds, our concerns about whether our investments, pensions, and Social Security benefits will cover what we will need in our old age. It aims us toward the others in our lives, even those we do not know personally, who are sailing these same seas with us, with the same worries and fears.
