“Now is the time for turning. The leaves are beginning to turn from green to red and orange…. God, help us to turn–from callousness to sensitivity, from hostility to love, from pettiness to purpose, from envy to contentment, from carelessness to discipline, from fear to faith.” -Jack Riemer
What do you need to turn towards in this season of transformation and atonement?
Sacrifice can also be harmful to us, causing injury (physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual).
How have you faced the possibility of harmful sacrifice?
Sometimes, we are asked to sacrifice for a cause beyond ourselves, something that will make our society better for everyone.
When have you been asked to sacrifice for a cause?
This month, we will explore the theme of sacrifice. When it is healthy, and when it is not. When it is harmful theology, and when it is relational and life-affirming.
When have you made a sacrifice that was healthy and healing for you?
In August, we will explore healing–the ways in which our bodies, minds, and souls heal from wounds and damage, and the ways in which the healing of the self and the healing of our world are connected.
Daily Compass will be taking a brief hiatus so that our curator can focus on healing themselves and their family from COVID-19. We hope to be back to daily meditations shortly. In the meantime, we hope that you will interact with us and with each other by responding to this:
Tell us about a time that you have experienced healing.
