For the lost, the searching, and the quietly curious


Leader: Let us commend ourselves and all people
                  to the love and protection of the Mother of God.

All:    Holy Mother of God,
            Mary ever Virgin,
            intercede for us with the Lord our God.

Leader: God who is mighty has done great things for us.

All: And holy is God’s name.

Leader: Let us pray:

Mary,
We sing our Alleluias today, for Jesus is risen.
Our souls proclaim the greatness of God,
Our spirits rejoice in our Risen Savior.
May your song be sung in our lives
At every moment of this day so that God’s power,
Which can do far more than we can ask or imagine,
May continue to call life from death and light from darkness,
Transforming our meager efforts
Into your Son’s victory over death.

Amen.

This book isn’t just about shining a light on the cracks within the church—it’s about healing them. It challenges leaders and congregants alike to wrestle with tough questions:

Are we creating a space where people feel safe sharing their deepest struggles?

Do we offer meaningful support, or are we too caught up in appearances to notice the pain behind the smiles?

How can we make the church a place of radical love and transformation for everyone—not just those who fit neatly into its expectations?
