The Longing To Be Known

Becca holding her first-born.

To be known means you are willing to live with longing your whole life.

We keep waking up to how this pandemic is crawling through 2020 and its effect on every aspect of our life. The distancing is taking its toll as we have to scream to be heard. The truth the psalmist offers to us in Psalm 139 that God searches for us and knows us is good news. The

Quotes by Becca Stevens (?)

“I’ve learned that our job is not to change the world. Our job is to change ourselves so that we may more fully love the world as it is.”
― Reverend Becca Stevens

“That’s one reason I was so passionate about establishing the Magdalene community. Mary Magdalene was the name of the first person to preach about resurrection, and she experienced deep healing from old wounds. In the accounts of the resurrection stories offered in the Gospels, it seems like in each story Jesus lingers to meet Magdalene. In the account of the resurrection in the Gospel of John, two disciples run into the tomb and see the shroud that Jesus had been wrapped in. They leave scared, and Magdalene is left alone. As she stands outside the tomb, she bends over to look into the tomb. Jesus speaks to her. The bond and power of grace seem to bring her into the heart of God. I wanted to name the community in her honor and for it to be a sanctuary. I knew that in order to heal people, women needed a place to speak their truth in love without fear of being judged, in part because I needed that place.”

“Sunrise in the story of Easter is not just a time of day; it is a state of the heart. Sunrise is the space where nighttime fears move aside for hope, where we feel peace about our mortality in the scope of the universal truth that love abides and where we feel light crest the dark horizons of hearts we have kept barricaded.”
