Dear Friends,
We pray for you a Happy and Blessed New Year!
Today's Meditation is a celebration of the spirit of Sr. Dorothy Hennessey who took to heart the message of today's Scripture reading from Paul advising Timothy: "Fan into a flame the gift God has given you." She witnessed to what she valued. She also reminds us of our friend Fr. Roy Bourgeois who also witnessed these last 25 years against the School of the Americas training perpetrators of torture, massacres and militay coups.
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.

Today's Meditation is a fact sheet: "if 100 people lived on earth..." You may have seen something similar before. It was sent to us by Dave Driscoll who reflects: "We’ve seen this before but it continues to amaze me and stimulate thinking about how lucky we are and how we might live and work to create more equality and unity in the world."
