LIVING LIFE AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
“It is to be ready to receive things just as they are
and to be ready to let them teach us….
seeing God in the shadow and disguise”
R. Rohr
Life is messy. We are messy.
We are challenged daily to meet the events and
vicissitudes of life beyond a reactive level,
at a level of growth and grace.
It requires self-reflection, ‘necessary dispositions’
and recognizing and working through
our personal inner obstacles.

HOW DO I LIVE-
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FULLY HUMAN
And God said to Moses ’I am that I am’: and God said ‘Thus shalt thou say---‘I am’ hath sent me unto you” (Exodus 3:14)
So God created humans in God’s image, in the image of God s/he created them; male and female s/he created them. (Genesis 1;27)
