Time to Reflect
The Moment of Inward Breath
That moment of inward breath, that pause and awareness of “how beautiful this is” is a prayer of appreciation, a moment of gratitude in which I behold beautiy and am one with it. Jean Shinoda Bolen
Our Unique Belonging
We are not connected from the rest of creatures but joined in a splendid universal communion. As believers we do not look at the world from without but from within, conscious of the bonds with which we are linked to all beings. By developing our individual God-given capacities, an ecological conversion can inspire us to greater creativity and enthusiasm to solve the world’s problems…[LS 220]
Waiting
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.”
Living Life

Wisdom
![[St. Francis] shows us just how inseparable the bond is between concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and interior peace. (10)](https://i0.wp.com/rscj-anz.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Purple-flower.png?resize=710%2C300&ssl=1 "Wisdom")
Wisdom is not the result of mental effort. It cannot be gained through intellectual study. Even life experiences do not make us wise if we don’t process them humbly and consciously. Richard Rohr
Developing the Capacity to Birth Something New
There is a birthing taking place but what is coming into existence isn’t quite here, so this ongoing challenge of finding truth will be with us for a while. John Paul Lederach
