Dear Friends,

 We hope that you are safe and well.

 Today's Meditation comes to us from Pat Ferrone and Irene Desharnais. It is a Guided Meditation in Solidarity with Mothers and Children fleeing from Ukraine.

We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--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.
