"These holy days and the liturgies that 'remember' them, that bring them into the present and offer their mystery and their grace, invite us. They invite us to enter their mystery, experience their grace, and be transformed by love." -The Rev. Jim Clark⁠

How is the contemplative life lived? Primarily by

How is the contemplative life lived? Primarily by learning to be silent and to rest in Christ’s presence within. At the heart of the contemplative vision is the insight that we needn’t go anywhere or do anything or become anything other than who we are to be present to God, who is already present to us. More present than we are to ourselves. So the contemplative life is actually quite simple and accessible to everyone. It is simply the intention to pause, to be still, and, by faith, to rest in Christ’s presence within.⁠

"Think of someone who needs to heal. Tell them...l

"Think of someone who needs to heal. Tell them...let it be a card, let it be a call, let it be a text or an email maybe even face to face...as genuinely as you can, offer the belovedness that goes to the root of their very being. Make it real for them. Ask God to give you the words. Ask God to give you ears to listen. Don’t add strings. Don’t add critique. Don’t add qualifiers. Just let it be gratuitous belovedenss. In this way, help repair that which binds us as the body of Christ, doing so may help you and them to connect with a jubilant shout from on high strong enough to split the sky and powerful enough to shame the darkness that thrives on division." -The Rev. Robert Berra⁠
