Reflections (Page 7)
The Endpoints and Everything In Between
In the story of Genesis, God creates the endpoints of male and female but also every identity in between and calls it all good.
The First Bible
When the disciples ask Jesus to teach them about God, he essentially tells them to "pay attention to nature."
Mother of the Church
Mary is celebrated as the Mother of the Church. May we reclaim her radical witness and the role and leadership of women.
The Reality Cup
Jesus told his followers that they will have trouble living in the world. This may mean that we have to keep raising difficult questions - personally and collectively.
Surprise Invitations
In the spiritual life, we are constantly invited to change and pivot. Life offeres us many unexpected suprises that invite us to be open.
Across the Miles
Virtual Spiritus members made a pilgrimage to Rochester this past weekend to connect in person with each other and with the local community.
Hearing the Voice
Jesus says that his disciples will know his voice. How do we learn to more clearly hear Jesus' voice in this world.
Not the Age of Information
In the time of Jesus and maybe even more so now, people hunger not only for physical sustenance but for spiritual nourishment.
Bold and Flexible
In the faith life, we are invited to move through the world with a spirit of boldness yet also remain open and fluid and adaptable.
Actualize Love
Valentine's Day invites us to move beyond some of the superficial, consumer aspects of the holiday and seek to end domination and oppression through love.
Trust the Process
Sometimes in the spiritual life, it can be hard to trust in the processes that we are in and even to feel God's presence.
The Door Beneath Everything
Everything that we are going through offers a doorway into some new meaning and possibility for our lives - if we can stop and reflect.
