Listen "Marching with God"
Episode Synopsis
Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA July 6, 2025 11 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Proper 9C In this homily, the Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi draws from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1957 sermon on Ghanaian independence to illuminate Jesus' words, "I watched Satan fall from heaven," as a metaphor for the fall of oppressive powers. Rossi's homily calls Christians to resist injustice not with violence, but through faithful, embodied action: crossing boundaries, building community, and stewarding creation. Echoing Paul, it urges perseverance in the work of the common good. The oppressor will not fall from the sky. We must march with God until dignity and peace belong to all. 2 Kings 5:1-14 Psalm 30 Galatians 6:(1-6)7-16 Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
