Only Love Is Absolute

Only Love Is Absolute (CAC 11/6/2022)
This meditation has a number of lines that I found remarkable and worth remembering. Here are a few of them.
"In no other period of history have humans had such easy and immediate access to people of other cultures and other religions, often as friends. Once a person has developed any “discernment of the Spirit” it becomes clear that God’s holiness exists all over the place."
"It is strange that it took us almost all of our two-thousand-year history to get back to the “ecumenical” attitude Jesus had at the very beginning!"
"...I am convinced that the biblical tradition is saying that the only absolute available to us is the faithful love of God..."
"What the world wants, and people need, are people who believe in Something—Something that will lead them to the good, the beautiful, the true, and the universal."

Heaven is a Great Party

Heaven is a Great Party (CAC 8/31/2022) When someone says the word "heaven," what is the first thing that comes into my mind? Usually it is that I want to go there but I'm not sure who will be allowed in. I love the way Richard Rohr reframes the image as a celebration truly open to all.

The Sower's Generosity

The Sower's Generosity (CAC 9/1/2022) What a blessed reframing of this well-known parable, which I don't believe I've ever heard before! God's unhindered generosity frees us to aspire to be the best soil that we can be, without any judgement on the less-than-fertile aspects of our lives. May we enjoy the vision of the Sower flinging seeds everywhere with abandonment!

Nonviolence

Nonviolence: Weekly Summary (CAC 10/29/2022) I was raised in one of the few faith traditions that fully embraces nonviolence and hence have long been particularly interested in it. This week's meditations on it were excellent, and I particularly liked "The Decalogue for a Spirituality of Nonviolence" presented in the weekly summary.
