Part One: May Your Kingdom Come

Join Oscar and Bishop Joseph A. Espaillat as they unpack the powerful words, “may your kingdom come,” from the Our Father and uncover the true purpose of this often-overlooked line in one of Christianity's most beloved prayers. They dive into what it really means to invite God's Kingdom into our lives, exploring whether faith has become too individualized and how we can refocus on community and unity. Along the way, we’ll explore an “amen or ouch” approach to speaking truth that challenges and inspires. Grab a cup of matcha (or a plate of mangú!) and let’s explore what living for his kingdom looks like today.
