In this powerful reflection, Leah draws upon the prophetic legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to inspire “A Time of Sacred Preparation.” She explores Dr. King’s teachings on justice, nonviolence, and hope, even in the face of profound disappointment. Sharing excerpts from his sermons and prayers, Leah challenges us to confront the realities of our time with a resilient spirit and a commitment to love. She calls us to embody practices of preparation—prayer, reflection, and grounded action—that align with the Divine’s call for justice and compassion. This teaching offers an invitation to carry forward Dr. King’s vision, cultivating a hope that sustains us in the ongoing work of healing our world.
