“The Hebrew word Hineini indicates that a person is showing up with the fullness of who they are to respond. To be spiritually present. Ayeka? Hineini! In those moments when we have missed the mark, and no longer recognize our actions as being reflections of the values that we espouse, it is time to show up. To proclaim: Hineini! Here I am. Ready to do the hard work of introspection.”
Sermon by Rabbi Heather Miller from virtual worship at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, March 7, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Genesis 3:8–21, Psalm 96 and Mark 13:14–22.
