Sermon: Doubt by Rev. Carolyn Tilley
“We are not alone: saints and angels invisible, yet in splendor, surround us; Jesus the healer is with us. Your Holy Spirit, O God, leads us to yearn for our own completeness, for the well-being of others, and for a better life. Fill us with the expectation of goodness; and should any here feel burdened by guilt or inadequacy, let the grace of Jesus be made real in all its liberating power.” - The Iona Community
