August 2020

Encounter the Quiet Light

Call the Light.. “Sabbath Rest”

… the need to rest and contemplate
the goodness of God in life

the grass… green for hope
the sky… so blue and welcoming
the trees… so sturdy and tall in spirit

The Light of “Sabbath Rest”

… the need to quiet our spirit
calm our fears

The Call… to contemplate
the goodness of God in each other

and then…. to share the fruits of
our reflection and pondering
that draw us to encounter the Quiet Light

in the grass of earth’s hope
in the blue sky of the Universe’s call to live in solidarity
In our humble spirits… growing tall in faithfulness

This August… “Sabbath Rest” leads each one of us to become part of the glorious light
of Faith, Hope and Love.

Encounter. Share. Become the Light.

America…God shed His Light

The gift of Loving Acceptance

Let us all bloom with faith, hope and loving acceptance of one another.

Let us let the light shining upon us bless us with serving one another with dignity.

Let us be listeners and hearts of compassion that care about those who do not feel the light shining.

Let us live the prophetic message of Jesus’s love… I have come so you will have life …a life of serenity, harmony, peace and justice for all. Let your light shine.

A Thought to Make “Holy” Each Day

A Thought to Make “Holy” Each Day

We are, as Father Richard Rohr says, “seekers of light and life… bearers of shadows and burdens“
We dare to struggle to journey together
toward moral fulfillment~~
Let us arise each day and
believe that we are all called
to care for the Universe
while caring for each other.
The way to do this is simply and “courageously”
Is to see Christ love in one another…even
in the struggles and differences.
We are called to be God’s gaze of liberating Love, Peace, Harmony and Joy.

Let It Shine

Let It Shine

Let the sunlight shine in your heart everyday. Look up and feel the light of peace, harmony and compassion. Take that light……share it. Become it in word, deed and action. Let the light of acceptance, caring and respect shine wherever you go. And we are put on earth to learn to bear the beams of Love.
