Discernment

Hello @Delicatessen @Appleblossom @pinklollipop15 and all interested

I loved your New Year post

@Delicatessen and thought it would be great to be able to recall and revisit it during the year and maybe add to it occasionally.

So here's the Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi again.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Thanks for the CAC link @Appleblossom https://cac.org/daily-meditations/

I haven't subscribed as there's usually a lot to unpack but a couple of weeks ago I ordered a Rohr book. I occasionally look at what Laurence Freeman (of WCCM) or Bill and Kristi Gaultiere have to say.

In 2023 I'd like to set aside more time to dip into Emergence Magazine articles and podcasts on spiritual ecology. https://emergencemagazine.org/ which isn't Christian but universal and honours nature, the environment, and indigenous cultures.

Cheers, Dimity.
