Feast of John Chrysostom
Jan. 27, 2026
 
Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church: 
 
As the situation in the United States grows more fraught, The Episcopal Church is working to find new ways to care for God’s people in our immigrant communities. Many of you have asked how you can help. 
 
Please join me in making a generous donation that will allow us to provide emergency funding for ministry with migrants. Your gift will allow us to rush financial support to dioceses that are loving and caring for immigrants in these difficult times.
GIVE TODAY

Last week, we sent funds to our siblings in the Episcopal Church in Minnesota to support Casa Maria, a place for vulnerable neighbors to receive food and clothing and network with others. Your gift will help support ministries like this across The Episcopal Church. 
 
As we approach the season of Lent, I will invite us all into a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we turn toward Christ’s ministry of justice, reconciliation, and love during divisive times. Please watch for these invitations in the coming days. 
 
About 1,500 years ago, John Chrysostom, whose feast we celebrate today, had his own share of trouble with the forces of this world. In a famous homily, he said, “If Christ is with me, whom shall I fear? Though the waves and the sea and the anger of princes are roused against me, they are less to me than a spider’s web.”  
 
The anger of princes is raging around us, but Christ is with us, and God is calling us into the waves. Please give as you are able and pray for the witness of the church in these times, and for a hedge of protection around the people we serve who live in fear.    
 
Yours in Christ,

Fiesta de San Juan Crisóstomo
27 de enero de 2026
 
Querido pueblo de Dios en la Iglesia Episcopal:
 
A medida que la situación en Estados Unidos se vuelve más tensa, la Iglesia Episcopal está trabajando para encontrar nuevas formas de cuidar al pueblo de Dios en nuestras comunidades de inmigrantes. Muchos de ustedes han preguntado cómo pueden ayudar.
 
Por favor, únase a mí para hacer una donación generosa que nos permitirá proporcionar financiamiento de emergencia para el ministerio con los migrantes. Su donación nos permitirá enviar apoyo económico a las diócesis que están encontrando maneras de amar y cuidar a los inmigrantes en estos tiempos difíciles.
DONE HOY
La semana pasada les enviamos fondos a nuestros hermanos de la Iglesia Episcopal de Minnesota para apoyar a Casa María, un lugar donde los vecinos vulnerables reciben alimentos y ropa, y donde pueden ponerse en contacto con otros. Su donación ayudará a apoyar a estos ministerios en toda la Iglesia Episcopal.
 
A medida que nos acercamos a la temporada de Cuaresma, los invitaré a todos a entrar en una temporada de oración, ayuno y ofrendas mientras nos dirigimos hacia el ministerio de justicia, conciliación y amor de Cristo en tiempos de división. Les pido que presten atención a estas invitaciones en los próximos días.
 
Hace aproximadamente 1,500 años, Juan Crisóstomo, cuya fiesta celebramos hoy, tuvo sus propios problemas con las fuerzas de este mundo. En una famosa homilía, dijo: “Cristo está conmigo, ¿qué puedo temer? Que vengan a asaltarme las olas del mar y la ira de los poderosos; todo eso no pesa más que una tela de araña”.
 
La ira de los poderosos está rugiendo a nuestro alrededor, pero Cristo está con nosotros y Dios nos está llamando hacia las olas. Por favor, contribuyan según sus posibilidadesy oren por el testimonio de la iglesia en estos tiempos, y por tender un cerco de protección alrededor de las personas a las que servimos y que viven con temor.
 
Suyo en Cristo,
