May I open my heart....

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives,
but I will not rejoice in the death of one,
not even an enemy. " Jessica Dovey

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Alone..but not really..

When things are painful and difficult we often feel alone and afraid..as we hear news of our sisters and brothers experiencing pain and sorrow... What if we took the time to send them our love in thought, word or action?  This simple gesture would remind us all that we are family...and...we are not alone on this journey of life!  I love you...know you are loved much!

Earth Day...Every Day..

beautifulfreepictures.com
As we celebrate and honor Earth today, may each day be an Earth Day as we realize more and more how much a part of Earth we are.  As we move through Holy Week and the life..death and Resurrection of Jesus, may we also honor the life and death of all the life forms that nourish the web of life on a daily basis.

As we offer grace before our meals may we choose to remember all the beings who have given their lives that we might celebrate and share food with our loved ones and family.  Gently survey your table and note the variety of beings that have given their lives.

This is not meant to make us down hearted and guilty but to make us aware of the many members in the web of life who generously give of themselves to feed us daily.
