Ultimately, the cost of remaining silent, whether quietly or loudly, isn't just that the injustices of the world might not get reversed. The real consequence is the break in community that remains unresolved.
Letting go of suffering means letting go of finding answers but letting go of suffering demands an authentic pouring out of the questions. Because our pain is carried in the questions. And God wants us to pour out our pain to him and to each other. That means naming it.
There may be people in your family or maybe right across this room you resent a little or a lot. And I guess I want to say this, if we don't learn to let go of it, it won't let go of us. And our inner being will gradually and slowly pay a price. Resentment is a slow growing cancer. It takes time to wreak its havoc. It's in no hurry. It prefers to be ignored.

Where might God be inviting us to let go?
