June 23, 2024: "Stella Maris - Star of the Sea" with Teresa Thompson

Catholic Women Preach

Preaching for the Twelfth Sunday, Teresa Thompson offers a reflection on entering into chaos - particularly the chaos of combating climate change - confident in God's presence: "Chaos gets a bad rap, and oftentimes when these large-scale proposals for climate changes solutions are made, they are dismissed as too messy, too disruptive, too difficult to implement, too extreme. What these dismissals fail to acknowledge is that we find God in chaos, and God accompanies us in it." Teresa Thompson is a writer, therapist, and amateur theologian based in Brooklyn, NY. She is a board member of the Metro NY chapter of Call To Action and serves as part of the Catholic Lesbians ministry and Healing Prayer ministry at the Church of Saint Francis Xavier. Teresa’s writing has been published by Geez Magazine and Ignatian Solidarity Network and can also be read on her Substack, Liturgy of the Ours.
