Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
Today's Meditation is Wendell Berry's "Sabbath Poem, 1985, V." Today is the Feastday of St. Clare of Assisi who together with Francis taught us about a poverty/richness of spirit, letting go of what is non-essential and embracing what really matters. Today is supposed to be very hot and yet I feel so blessed by the trees and the breeze which refreshes and this poem seems perfect.

We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.

In today's Meditation, I/Ron have put together some of my reflections on "eternal life." They have been stimulated by our Gospel readings these last few Sundays on the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6 and by this commentary from SALT. We would be interested in your reflections too.
