In our baptism, we are marked with the cross of Christ and sealed by the Holy Spirit. We are named as Christ’s own forever. And, we are charged with the call to love with a fierce, trusting and vulnerable love. We are called to love like that mother hen who opens her wings wide and exposes her heart to the foxes of the world, because that is the love we have been shown in Jesus the Christ. Vulnerable love like this is a sign of true courage, and it is the mark of true leadership.
