Not Your Parents’ Jesus and Mary
Aug 6th
I have been living in spiritual community for six weeks now, as a novice at the Chicago Center of Light. I made this move because for the last two years I have been more and more involved with this spiritual practice, through meditation classes, spiritual seminars, and eventually through relationships with Teachers, priests, and the More >
Will My Question Finally Be Answered?
Aug 6th
For the past 20 years, my subconscious mind was driven by one pre-dominantly question, “What is the purpose of my life?” I got raised by an agnostic mother and grew up in a country destroyed by a religious civil war so turning to God, Jesus and Mary to get questions answered was not an option.

Growing and Deepening into Who I Truly Am
Jul 19th
Recently I was watering some houseplants. They looked healthy enough, but I noticed that they weren’t growing and that the roots were at the surface, all tightly wound together. As I transplanted them today, I felt the relief of the plants as I put them in fresh soil, in their new spacious pots. They felt More >

From the Heaviness of Depression to the Lightness of God
Jun 24th
Many of my old friends ask how I got onto the spiritual path, no less became a minister. I was the atheist and usually the one who got into arguments with Christians about how God was just in their imaginations. In college, I opened up to the possibility that God did exist, but I held More >
Thank God for the Light!
Jun 9th
During these past six months Jesus and Mary have been working on a core wound that showed up within my sharing of close friendships, exposing the vulnerability of feeling replaced or abandoned. As I continued to ask for sight on this reaction, the more I was given; thus putting me through a continual state of More >
In the Details of Life….

Halleluiah! The Boston community has moved its Center of Light to Framingham. What a joy it is to be in this new space! Everyday we can feel the house and the area being infused by Jesus and Mary’s love. This house is an answered prayer and a testimony of God’s goodness. For the Boston Center More >
Witnessing the Work
Apr 27th
One of the things I love about the Centers of Light is the feeling I get when I am with my community or in the chapel with God, Jesus and Mother Mary. I feel safe. I feel connected to everyone for a common cause and it is very good. Over the past 2 years when More >
