“A Labyrinth offers the opportunity to [move]… in meditation toward that place within us where the rational merges with the intuitive and allows the spiritual to be reborn.”
-Helen Curry

“Remind me I am never alone, not in my joys or in my tears. In the blessing of our silence, may I feel your presence, something greater than I have yet been able to comprehend.”
-Maureen Killoran
How are you connected to something greater than you can comprehend?
“We… remember this is our home, but not just ours.
This land we live on, this water we drink, this air we breathe;
These old mountains that hold us steady to our ground;
These forests that give us their healing green, these flowers that give us their beauty and fragrance, these fields that give us our daily bread, these stars that show us our place.
The wilderness and the tame backyards, all of it our home.
We remember the ancestors who have lived on this land, and who have shaped it.”
-Laura Bogle
Who are the original inhabitants of the land where you live? How can you honor them today?
Prayer can be a way to acknowledge the world around you, to bear witness to its pain and to steel yourself to face it.
What are you bearing witness to today?
“We pray for healing of the wounds of the past and present.
We pray for open hearts and minds that we may envision what is possible.
We pray for the courage not only to speak up,
but also to listen, even when the words are hard to hear.
We pray for compassion and understanding.
We pray for resilience and determination and for the fearlessness to take risks,
to make mistakes and to keep trying.
In gratitude for the opportunities we have been given and the promise of what we can achieve together… and in the name of all that is holy, we say amen.”
-Connie Simon
