The WAY - Learning How to Forgive

APRIL 15, 2022

The third step in the process to spritiual freedom is FORGIVENESS. Learning how to forgive ourselves and others releases us from the strongholds that keep us in from experiencing our God-given purpose. We must understand that we make decisions based on the knowledge we have at the time and our emotional wellbeing; those two create our spiritual body. Disappointments in ourselves and others are a natural part of life; therefore, forgiveness is needed to move beyond the past into the present.

The LIFE - Living in Dharma

APRIL 17, 2022

Living a life of DHARMA is the final lesson Jesus taught his disciples. When we spend time in prayer and meditation, God leads us, guides us, and protects us; we begin to live our lives knowing we are following the will of God. Living a life of DHARMA is also the final step to spiritual freedom.

PEACE PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury; pardon;
Where there is doubt; faith;
Where there is despair; hope;
Where there is darkness; light;
Where there is sadness; joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
