Dear Friends,

 We pray you are safe and well.

 In the spirit of our philosophy of co-creating community and our awareness that the Spirit speaks through each of us, we invite you to share your meditations with us as well. We truly believe that in God’s economy of abundance, when we share our blessings, our thoughts, our feelings, we are all made richer.

Today's Meditation is an exquisite video invitation to listen to Mother Earth inviting us to build a new future based on respect for each other and nature. It is produced by Lorenzo Quinn and comes to us from Ellen Reilly.

We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in healthcare, in the workplace, in the Church--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.

We hope and pray that you and your loved ones experience genuine peace of mind and heart, and remain in good health during this challenging time.

In this "Season of Ordinary Time" in the Church Year, may this be a time of peace, of healing and hope, of the infusion of joy in your life!

With our love and care,

Ron & Jean

The word message of the video is:

Our Earth,

Our Beautiful Planet,

Our Home

is calling out to us and speaking to us"

we need to stop and listen.

For too long we have blindly followed the wrong path.

Now through the silence brought by this virus,

we can hear her,

we can hear GAIA,

our Mother Earth.

Let's unite and follow a new path:

a path of light

kindness,

love

respect for our fellow-humans

and nature.

Stay safe

stay sound

and breathe

a breath of fresh hope

for our future.
