What’s Emerging? Week 5: 5 July 2021

As the Spirituality Group for Women gathers to explore the life and wisdom of Julian of Norwich this afternoon, I thought this might be fitting for today – a reminder to seek the peace and love that is always at work:

In Peace,

What’s Emerging? Week 3: Tuesday 22 June

Sunday’s Gospel reading invited us to find ways to abide in Christ, to gaze with him on the storms of anxiety and fear so they can be calmed by his peace and love. Seraphim of Sarov is a saint in the Eastern Church who reminds us that our peace has missional potential. It makes a difference in the world.

May you rest in God and abide in Christ today.

In Peace,

Christine

What’s Emerging? Week 3: Monday 21 June 2021

Today is winter solstice here in the Southern Hemisphere. And to observe this short day, a reflection by poet priest and one time prison chaplain Edward Hayes. I particularly like the line, “In the heart of every person on this Earth burns sparks of luminous goodness; in no heart is there total darkness.”

In Peace,

Christine
