Preaching for Easter Sunday, Nichole M. Flores offers a reflection on witnessing and testifying as Easter practice:
"As we enter into this season of rejoicing, how can we create space for the practices of witnessing and testifying in our daily lives? How might these practices help us to attend to our confusion, our suffering, and our wounds in the context of our daily lives, in 'lo cotidiano'? And how might these practices help us to hear Jesus’s joyful call, beckoning us to see the face of the Lord crucified and risen who has been with us all along?"
