Dear Friends,

 We invite you to sojourn with us in contemplation as we enter this Advent Season.

 Several of our recent meditations have talked about gratitude as a way of life. Today Dorothy Day invites us to see DELIGHT as another way of life. Where do you find delight? How does it echo through your day? When choosing a title for her journal entries capturing her thoughts and prayers over the years, she chose "The Duty of Delight."

Dear Friends,

 We hope that you are safe and well.

 In Today's Meditation, Matthew Fox invites us in the spirit of Thomas Berry to articulate the universe in its exuberance as the place where the Divine and the Human meet.

 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.

Dear Friends,

We hope that you are safe and well.
