How many of us feel an incongruence throughout liturgy, questioning if we really believe the prayers and psalms passing through our lips? On the ninth Sunday after Pentecost, Vanessa Maleare breathes life into our incongruencies around faith and life by inviting us to make space. [Matthew 14:13-21]

Reflection

• What space are you craving?
• What beliefs are you wrestling and contending with?
• What nourishment are you lacking and who might you ask for what you need?
