How do we break our patterns of conflict? You know, the fights that seem to keep happening but are just about something different? Those! Jesus, in John 11, models for us all a way of being that de-escalates activating situations and gets straight at the heart's longings. He does this by being ATTUNED to the needs, desires, and longings of others. Our invitation this Sunday is to follow in Jesus' footsteps of deep empathy to the point of making someone "feel felt!"
