In a universe with trillions of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, we should view our lives on this pale blue dot of a planet in a solar system on the edge of our galaxy with an appropriate amount of humility while embracing and treasuring the gift of experience that we all enjoy. What will it mean for us when we soon definitively discover that we are not alone and that the cosmos is teeming with life? We are not the center of the universe as so many past generations thought, but our lives and communities are nevertheless still important and possess inherent worth on this world that is our only home.

In his sermon "The Name of Love," Rev. T. J. FitzGerald reflects on on Martin Luther King Jr.'s message for us in troubled times. Drawing from Dr. King’s teachings on agape love, nonviolence, and moral courage, this UU sermon explores what it means to live with purpose when fear, injustice, and division feel overwhelming. It looks honestly at the tension between love and resistance and why Dr. King believed real love always carries a cost. T he Rev. T. J. FitzGerald is one of the ministers at First Unitarian Church of Dallas. Download the Morning Program

This discourse will explore how civil disobedience to unjust laws has been an effective catalyst for social change throughout human history. The Morning Program
