Preaching for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Nicolete Burbach offers a reflection on a God who sees and cares for us - even when society or the Church doesn't:

"Even when others do not see you in the Gospel’s consolations—even when you can’t see yourself—God still sees you. God still cares."

Nicolete Burbach is a theologian whose work aims to help the Catholic Church to navigate its difficult encounter with transness. Her edited collection with Lisa Sowle Cahill, Trans Life and the Catholic Church Today, was published by Bloomsbury in 2024. Nicolete earned a BA (hons) in Philosophy and Theology, an MA in Catholic Studies, and completed a PhD on Pope Francis’ hermeneutics of uncertainty, all at Durham University. She now lives in London with her wife. In her spare time she plays guitar in multiple bands.

Preaching for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Rachelle Simon offers a reflection on how Jesus models a way to serve others wholeheartedly without burning out — through compassion, community, and receiving God's grace before trying to give it:

"Basking in [God's] love allows us to tap into gratitude, transforming our service from an obligation, into the overflow of a grateful heart. We remember that we truly have received God's love without cost; why not give love to others freely?"

Rachelle Simon is the Executive Director of United Way of Pettis County, Missouri. She earned a Bachelor's degree from Rockhurst University, a Master's of Counseling from Villanova University, and a Master's of Divinity from Boston College. In her personal time, Rachelle enjoys cooking, hiking, and volunteering with her wife and family.

"In 1 Corinthians, Paul reminds us that our belonging, too, is ever-present. The work isn’t to earn, be granted, or achieve belonging; it is to recognize God’s truth: we though many, are one body."
