March 7, 2021: The Third Sunday of Lent with Olga Segura
Preaching for the Third Sunday of Lent, Olga Segura offers a reflection on the making meaning of Christ's crucifixion in today's context of racist violence and suffering:
"We believe in the power of the crucifixion, and this belief must help us to understand more deeply the systemic violence enacted upon Black, indigenous, people of color, and all marginalized groups. As Catholics, this means we are called to fight for a better, more liberated world. We are called to go to the margins and center the experiences of society’s most vulnerable communities."
Olga Marina Segura is the opinion and culture editor at the National Catholic Reporter and the author of Birth of A Movement: Black Lives Matter and the Catholic Church. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, ZORA Magazine, Shondaland, The Revealer, Refinery29, and Sojourners.
