We celebrate at Christmas -
NOT ONLY THAT CHRIST WAS B O R N
BUT THAT HE LIVED.

We must return to the spiritual values that are the foundation of life. We must love and respect all living things, have compassion for the poor and the sick, respect and understanding for women and female life on this earth who bear the sacred gift of life –

In a world that seems to revolve around money, it is vital that we deepen our relationship with our soul and bring it to bear on our relationship with money. In that merger and that commitment, we can create a new and profound spiritual practice. We can have our money culture both balanced and nourished by soul. Our relationship with money can become a place where, day in and day out, we can engage in this meaningful spiritual practice.
Lynne Twist, founder of the Soul on Money Institute quoted by Richard Rohr.
Weekly Pause and Ponder
Sometimes we just simply have to find a way. The moment we decide to fulfill some things we can do anything. And I’m sure the moment we start behaving as if we were in an emergency, we can avoid climate and ecological catastrophe. Humans are very adaptable: we can still fix this. But the opportunity to do so will not last for long. We must start today. We have no more excuses.
