When I saw the article in the Hartford Courant this past Saturday I, too, wondered about responses. A man who led our call to worship this past Sunday had a response that was one I had not imagined. He said, "As we gather as a community to worship, I wonder about Mother Theresa's community. Who supported her? Who was Jesus to her while she was Jesus to others? God sometimes seems silent or absent to me when I lift my own prayers to Him. And in those times, I am thankful for the ways God speaks through you, my community of faith. God sometimes feels absent to us individually, but we can then be reminded to stay open to how He is present to us through one another other as a community of faith."
