00:07:46.410 - 00:08:13.450

luchan por alguien hoy y por siempre Bendito y alabado seas protector nuestro. A ver me visitan. A reading from the book of Esther. Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai. All the king's officials

00:08:13.460 - 00:08:28.980

and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned, the king has but one law that they be put to death unless the

00:08:28.990 - 00:08:43.710

king extends the gold sector to them and spares their lives. But 30 days have passed since I was called to go to the king. When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer

00:08:45.850 - 00:09:00.300

. Do not think that because you are in the king's house, you alone of all the Jews will escape for if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another

00:09:00.310 - 00:09:20.260

place that you and your father's family will perish and who knows? But that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this be sent , this reply to Mordecai, go gather together all

00:09:20.270 - 00:09:33.530

the Jews who are in souza and fast for me , do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendance will fast as you do when this is done. I will

00:09:33.540 - 00:09:58.410

go to the king even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish, so Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther's instructions entonces este el dio Attack que le dijese amando

00:09:58.410 - 00:10:15.590

, creo. Todos, Los ciervos, el rey y el pueblo de las provincias del Rey saben que cualquier hombre o mujer que entra en el patio interior para ver al Rey sin ser llamado una sola ley

00:10:15.620 - 00:10:33.940

. Hay respeto. El ha de morir. Salvo aquel aquí en el rey tendiera el Centro de oro . el cual mi vida Yo no he sido llamada para ver al Rey estos treinta días. Y dice

00:10:33.940 - 00:10:50.360

Era una mandó que o las palabras de Estel. entonces digo más, más bloqueo de queja. Respondiese a Qtel. No pienses que escaparás en la Casa del Rey más que cualquier otro subir porque si cayos

00:10:50.360 - 00:11:11.810

absolutamente En este tiempo respiro y Levi liberación vendrá de alguna otra parte para los judíos más tú y la casa de tu padre per será i-. Y quién sabe Si para esta hora ha llegado al Reino.

00:11:13.070 - 00:11:30.650

y este el digo que respondiese llamado queo B y reúnen a todos los días que se hayan en Susa Y hay hay hay una por mí y no comais y debeis entren en tras día Noche y día Y

00:11:46.300 - 00:12:18.440

le demandó este palabra DE Dios. to be rooted , to be long to be accepted. French philosopher Simone Vale wrote to be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.

00:12:18.720 - 00:12:28.380

I know exactly what she is talking about as an immigrant child who grew up among immigrants when I was brought by my parents in New York City, when I was three years old. I know what it

00:12:28.390 - 00:12:39.250

means to grow up with a sense of being uprooted to grow up as an outsider who most times felt like I did not belong, which is why the story of Esther has always captured my heart and my

00:12:39.260 - 00:12:52.620

imagination here is Esther living in a land that was ruled by a nation that was economically and militarily powerful . We are told in chapter one and verse one of the book of Esther that the great king ruled

00:12:52.630 - 00:13:07.150

over 100 and 27 provinces stretching from India to Kush , which represented the Persian Empire. And within the empire lived Jews, the Jews who we are told in prior chapters had for three generations lived within the

00:13:07.160 - 00:13:22.230

borders of the empire diaspora. Jews who had married , settled and made their homes in Sousa living as a recognized religious minority in the heart of the powerful Persian Empire. 3rd and 4th generation Jews trying to

00:13:22.240 - 00:13:37.910

survive within a nation that often turned on its immigrants mistreating and persecuting them. And among this group is hadas a young orphan, a female, a nobody among no bodies in this minority community. The entire

00:13:37.920 - 00:13:52.600

story of Esther is complex. It's multifaceted, it is filled with all kinds of human drama meant to catch our attention but also to help us look inward . Kind of like a it's a good, no

00:13:54.080 - 00:14:09.970

, it is a story about empires. A story about nationalism run amok of citizens moving with political and military power against those perceived as foreigners despite the fact that those same foreigners had for generations lived as peaceful

00:14:09.980 - 00:14:22.860

residents of the land. It is a story about women and their relationships with men in power. It is a story about political intrigue as more schemes to save its people from a death imposed by Empire.

00:14:24.580 - 00:14:37.470

There's a story of how beauty in women is manipulated and exploited. It is a story about male ego and sexual conquest. There's a story about one young woman who had to learn the hard way that the

00:14:37.480 - 00:14:52.660

answer she gave to the question and where are you from could cost her her life because she had achieved her high rank by negating her true identity. Esther known to her Jewish community as a entered the world

00:14:52.670 - 00:15:03.060

of wealth and power and the message she used to do this was to keep silent, her identity to assimilate to the dominant culture of the, of the palace and to move away from her connections to her

00:15:03.070 - 00:15:18.630

community, which meant that ultimately, she became disconnected from herself. She became a stranger to herself. But here's the question I have for you. Should we be critical of Esther? After all? She

00:15:18.640 - 00:15:28.930

is what you would call a survivor. We love survivors. Huh? She is someone who lands on her feet. She is someone who can work the system. She knows how to play the game,

00:15:28.360 - 00:15:39.640

all the phrases that we understand and use to talk about someone who has learned to pass. But can you blame her after all? Why do you wanna live in the barrio? When those upscale gentrified neighborhood

00:15:39.650 - 00:16:00.730

looks so good? Why would you wanna drive a when a Tesla is so much better? Why would you eat when white Alban Truffles are so much more elegant? Come on, folks, can you blame

00:16:00.740 - 00:16:12.540

her living in a culture that was hostile to her and to her people had becomes Esther, who becomes consort to the king and who becomes someone captive in a world that will never really accept her and can

00:16:12.550 - 00:16:34.650

also kill her. Now, I'm not putting all the blame on Esther because we know that behind the mistakes made by a woman, you can always find a man, God's truth. He used her beauty

00:16:34.660 - 00:16:48.250

and he also manipulated her ambition and he played on her desire to step outside of her life and enter the world of bling a world that we know too well brought to you by Miss Jennifer Lopez, the

00:16:48.260 - 00:17:03.760

Kardashians and yes, even the queen be herself, Miss Dion as she stands draped in all those Tiffany diamonds. So the question is what went wrong with such a good plan. Esther was in, she

00:17:03.770 - 00:17:18.980

had made it to the king's bed chambers. She was in, she was living in the midst of luxury of power, wealth and comfort she was in or was she, you see had made some miscalculations

00:17:21.290 - 00:17:33.940

, didn't realize that the kind of security offered by humans is short lived. And that one day she would wake up and her great secret that she was a Jew and outsider, a foreigner would come to

00:17:33.950 - 00:17:45.870

me in her own death sentence. And now the story tells us that day had finally come. She knew her people were going to be killed. But how could she beg the king to spare the Jews

00:17:45.880 - 00:17:56.800

and to spare her community if she made this request and she would have to admit her own identity and this meant her own death sentence. And yet there is Mordecai the one who got her into this mess

00:17:56.810 - 00:18:10.100

in the first place not saying how sorry he was . Mm mm Instead he gives us, he gives her this very profound and challenging message. She tells her, do not think that because you are in

00:18:10.110 - 00:18:22.830

the king's house, you alone of all the Jews will escape for if you remain silent at this time , relief and deliverance will come from another place. But you and your father's family will perish and who

00:18:22.840 - 00:18:33.590

knows? But that you have come to the kingdom for a time. Such as this words are very moving to me to remain silent in the face of injustice to say nothing. When we know we are

00:18:33.600 - 00:18:45.180

the ones who can speak the needed truth to remain silent. When God has called us to speak, to remain silent, that is always a temptation to say nothing. And there are always such good reasons

00:18:45.190 - 00:18:56.330

to say nothing. Aren't there. If you speak too often your denominational leaders, whether they're Bishops Presbyters or regional ministers or deacons, they can cut you off. No one wants to lose a pension or

00:18:56.340 - 00:19:07.310

health plan. If you speak too much in class as a racial ethnic person and the professor may become uncomfortable and nobody needs a bad grade on the transcript . If you speak in our churches and classrooms and

00:19:07.320 - 00:19:17.390

streets about issues that make people nervous. You know what issues I'm talking about. If you speak about the poor, if you claim dignity for the immigrants , if you call out for reformation of immigration legislature

00:19:17.400 - 00:19:26.720

, if you say women are created in the image of God, if you speak about how transnationals are exploiting workers about around the globe. If you speak to remind folks that there are 89 million forcibly displaced

00:19:26.730 - 00:19:40.800

people around the world, out of which 37 million are Children. If you say Black Lives Matter, if you dare to say these things, you're gonna find yourself facing consequences. If we speak about the

00:19:40.810 - 00:19:53.450

racism in our seminaries, if we speak about the sexism of Latina still face today. If we speak about our LGBT Q and Trans Latinx community, if we speak, if we speak, if we speak

00:19:55.270 - 00:20:07.360

, are we ready for the consequences? Now, if we really look at Esther, we will find that she is an unlikely heroine. A mirror as a mirror image of the Hebrew people in exile,

00:20:07.370 - 00:20:22.870

Esther is herself an orphan without the security, identity and rootedness of family. While she has reasons to remain silent, Esther had to speak. Her community was about to be killed and she knew what had

00:20:22.880 - 00:20:37.020

to be said. And here comes another interesting part . Mordecai is clear. If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come from another place you see, despite what we may think God

00:20:37.030 - 00:20:48.760

is always watching. And despite what we may think , we are not always as good or as smart or as brave as we think we are. Sometimes we need a dose of humility to remind us that

00:20:48.770 - 00:21:03.610

God calls us to do God's work, but we are not God some more DEA reminds Esther that God's desire is for the Jews in Persia to thrive. Now listen to this with or without Esther. But

00:21:03.620 - 00:21:18.120

Esther still needed to act, she still needed to be present. She still needed to fulfill her role in the liberation of her people. And it seems that Esther truly hears what Mordecai says to her because

00:21:18.130 - 00:21:30.150

in preparation for the moment when she would have to speak, this is what the text tells us that Esther says, then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai . Go gather together all the Jews who are in

00:21:30.310 - 00:21:45.440

Sousa and fast for me. What did do Esther returns to her community? Esther returns to her roots . Esther returns to her true self, the woman who was born and raised to be Jewish and she

00:21:45.450 - 00:21:53.060

had to do this because it is from within her community, from within her roots that she will gather the strength that she will, that she will need to speak to the king. She returns to her

00:21:53.070 - 00:22:07.150

people and she says, pray for me because the reality is that we are not meant to journey alone . I've made this request of the congregations I have passed through through the years and I've always been strengthened

00:22:07.160 - 00:22:18.250

and renewed a por mi. Por favor, hermanos , mueren por mi. Yo he dicho. to our communities, our families to reach out to those who have nurtured our faith, to share our burdens

00:22:18.290 - 00:22:33.840

where we don't have to explain ourselves. That is an act of wisdom to believe that God dwells within our community. To believe that God brings forth healing and power and reconciliation is a powerful thing to acknowledge

00:22:33.850 - 00:22:45.830

the value and importance of our communities is not to feel alone. It means that we don't have to face the battles before us. With only our personal or individual resources we have at our disposal. A

00:22:45.840 - 00:22:59.430

community's wisdom, a community's gifts, the support of a community and guidance to see us through. I repeat, we are not created to go at this alone. The importance of community to acknowledge, to

00:22:59.440 - 00:23:11.370

acknowledge it, to value it, to connect to it is vital, is a vital part of our lived experience as is our faith experience. That is why Paul says to the Ephesians. Consequently, you

00:23:11.380 - 00:23:25.430

are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens of God's people and members of God's household. There is a community envisioned by God and embodied in Jesus's call that is meant to be inclusive and Liber.

00:23:26.010 - 00:23:37.920

There is a community envisioned by God to reach out to all people, a community that acknowledges that the grace and mercy they have been shown must be shared with the world. We are called by God in

00:23:37.930 - 00:23:53.960

Christ to be one household, which means that we must be the ones to speak about and live by the ideals of tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, reconciliation , inclusion, and equality. There is no excuse

00:23:53.970 - 00:24:07.900

, sisters and brothers, there is no excuse to do otherwise. So let me ask, what about this community gathered this morning? We have gathered here as a faith community called by God to put our

00:24:07.910 - 00:24:21.670

faith into practice and to do the work required by our faith means to engage in what Latin American liberation theologians call practice. And the theological response to this is a call to faith in action and is it

00:24:21.680 - 00:24:33.910

is to live, to learn to live in true solidarity. And what is solidarity? American theologian John Sobrino defines solidarity as a closeness, support, defense of the weak. And then he says, solidarity

00:24:33.920 - 00:24:49.840

is the tenderness of peoples. Listen to the definition one more time. Solidarity is the tenderness of peoples to think of tenderness as a key component of our theological practice of our theological action is one of the

00:24:49.850 - 00:25:04.230

challenges the Christian church of the 21st century must take on if it is to fulfill its prophetic ministry in ways that respond concretely to the realities of the world we live in. And it emboldens us to dare

00:25:04.240 - 00:25:17.950

to speak truth, call to the deed, call to live in solidarity. That is our practice. That is the oxygen of our faith to say yes to the call made to us is to believe in

00:25:17.960 - 00:25:30.390

God's dreams, for humanity, dreams that encompass justice , liberation, healing, hospitality and inclusion. To believe in this is to awaken to the steering of the Holy Spirit in our being. It is to

00:25:30.400 - 00:25:41.800

be released from fear. So that when we come to that woman, child or man who stands before us, we will not look away, we will not pass judgment, we will not criticize, but

00:25:41.810 - 00:25:56.210

instead we will take the risk and make ourselves vulnerable . By reaching out when we respond to this call of faith in action, we seek justice. We act with compassion. We remain loyal to our call

00:25:56.220 - 00:26:10.030

. And by doing this, we will be able to enter into new depths of sharing of mutual love and exuberant faith. My friends, we are called for times such as these, you are called for

00:26:10.040 - 00:26:21.830

times such as these and these are not easy times . Just think of the headlines of the many deaths from gun violence. I we came from San Antonio where last week a student in a nursing program at

00:26:21.840 - 00:26:33.420

Incarnate Word was shot during a road wage incident. 20 years old last fall in September, we saw the governor of Florida treat 50 immigrant women, Children and men as human props to make his political point

00:26:33.550 - 00:26:47.930

when he sent them to Martha's vineyard, a political maneuver that was a clear display of xenophobia and white supremacy. These are no ordinary times. We live in a broken and hurting world. We live in

00:26:47.940 - 00:27:00.160

the midst of a consumer society that will willingly exploit the immigrant but then seek to deport them. We live in a world consuming nationalism, fear of immigrant exploitation of the poor abuse of Children and women.

00:27:00.370 - 00:27:14.220

A world where slavery and human trafficking are a reality , a world where refugee Children down drown in the ocean, which is why the world needs all of us here today. Willing to speak God's truth of

00:27:14.230 - 00:27:26.520

justice. So today, I ask, could it be my friends that you have been brought to this place to better prepare for a time such as this ? Could it be that God is calling you since

00:27:26.530 - 00:27:37.660

you came to this seminary? And you have been struggling with that still small voice, speaking to your heart. Maybe you are no longer a seminary student but are struggling with God's call to do the work

00:27:37.670 - 00:27:47.620

only you can do for this broken world. Maybe you have a comfortable job or maybe you're even tenured . But still, you know, there is something more that God is calling you to do but could

00:27:47.630 - 00:28:03.290

it be that you are afraid to speak the truth only you can pronounce and yet God has been telling you to open your mouth and speak my friends. Let Mordechai's words, sit inside our souls and let

00:28:03.300 - 00:28:18.900

them speak to your heart. I want you to listen to the words which are spoken to each of us today and who knows that you have come to the kingdom for a time such as this, who

00:28:18.910 - 00:28:34.100

knows that you have come for a time such as this, let me invite each of you to open your hearts and to really listen to what God is saying, allow yourself to hear God's call to confront

00:28:34.110 - 00:28:47.800

your fears and prejudices so that you are able to glimpse a new and more profound meaning of solidarity. I know this for certain God has called us to a faith that requires practice and we must respond.

00:28:48.210 - 00:29:03.510

We must be present for a time such as this , all of us are being called precisely because of the Brokenness and despair in this world. A world that truly needs to hear some good news. God

00:29:03.520 - 00:29:22.890

is speaking. God is calling, could it be that indeed you were brought to this place for a time such as this, how will you respond? Please join me in prayer. Oh God, you

00:29:22.900 - 00:29:38.350

who know knows us best you, who understands us best speak to us this morning like Esther, we are surrounded by the destructive power of Empire. And so we know like Esther knew that it is only

00:29:38.360 - 00:29:52.920

from you that our deliverance will come. You called Esther and now you call us, you had a plan for Esther and you have a plan for us . You needed Esther to do the work only she

00:29:52.930 - 00:30:04.710

could do to help save her people. And today you need each one of us. In this chapel to do the work that only we can do to promote justice, equality and change in our society.

00:30:06.670 - 00:30:22.370

Oh God, pour your Holy Spirit upon us like on that first Pentecost so that we too may be filled with your power to do the work that must be done as we leave this chapel, take us

00:30:22.380 - 00:35:08.000

with you and joining us with you. And may the power of your spirit be upon us. I mean our pain, world weeps over the lashings of human made borders. These borders are deeply rooted fence

00:35:08.010 - 00:35:36.200

rods that divide harvesters from the harvest and mothers from their Children. Borders are an open wound not only physically in the landscape, but also symbolically and metaphorically on human bodies. Even our human bodies constitute border

00:35:36.210 - 00:36:02.200

sites. But this is the Lord's Table. It is the embodied witness of a borderless space where undocumented ba bodies, racialized bodies and privileged bodies are invited to share the feast which the Lord Jesus has prepared

00:36:06.310 - 00:36:37.670

. Cross over your borders of racism, hate fear , egoism, or greed. Cross over these borders to this table and be transformed by God's love. Cross over to the table and taste that the Lord

00:36:37.110 - 00:37:08.740

is good. el Señor este con ustedes. Levante en nuestros corazones. Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. We do give thanks to you for you are eternally mindful of your creation.

00:37:09.690 - 00:37:27.810

You deemed good. All of your creation, the brightness of day, the glow of dusk and the darkness of night. Our bodies are an organic blend of the sky, the earth, the sea.

00:37:29.320 - 00:37:45.580

We are more than just brown, black, white , yellow and red bodies. We are all made equally in the image of God, male and female . We praise you for making us in your image

00:37:45.600 - 00:38:15.270

fearfully and wonderfully. Ciertamente es digno y justo darte gracias. Y A LA darte. Quien como El Señor nuestro Dios que tiene su trono en las alturas y se digna contemplar los cielos y la tierra.

00:38:15.790 - 00:38:39.690

El levantar el polvo el pobre y saca del mund necesitado. Dos ases sentarse con príncipes con un príncipes de su pueblo. odios. Tú eres digno de alabanza. You are the deliverer of the exile immigrant

00:38:39.700 - 00:38:59.170

refugee and border crosser. First you heard and saw the affliction of your African ancestors, Hagar and Ishmael , you began, you blessed them with life, freedom and family. como el Dios que escucha y

00:38:59.170 - 00:39:20.380

ve el cruzado HR de las fronteras. Tú has dado ropa y alimento a nuestros antepasados inmigrantes. Entre ellos habrán Sara Isaac de Meca y Jacob. When Israel was in Egypt, you used the pharaoh's daughter

00:39:20.390 - 00:39:45.150

to rescue an unaccompanied migrant child from state sanctioned violence . cuando eran esclavizados en Egipto enviaste Hay muy seis para decir al faraón dejar y a mi pueblo. This is God's witness to us that the God of

00:39:45.160 - 00:40:10.330

the universe cares for the orphan, the widow and loves the refugee, the undocumented and the asylum seeker . alaban al Señor proclamen su nombre, testifiquen de sus promesas entre los pueblos. While you are the
