"Breathing in," writes Marcia Lane-McGee, "I prayed for George Floyd’s brother. I just lost my own in January and in praying for Philonise Floyd’s peace, I knew the hole in his heart hasn’t yet started to heal. Breathing out, I prayed for everyone else who loved him."

Marcia Lane-McGee heard “guilty” and she was numb. She thought she'd heard wrong. History had taught her to believe Derek Chauvin would walk free.

The Catholic can play even when he's about the most serious things. The disciplines are rules of a game at which he's going to lose, but also get better.

Our regular columnist, Leticia Ochoa Adams, created Catholic Speakers of Color to be a resource for conference organizers. We are confident it will help the Church to sound more like herself.
