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.

The Seeds of God’s Love
Jul 19th
Why is it that some people feel and know God’s love for them and some people feel like God is against them or not hearing them and seeing them? Through my experience in working with different people I have found that the degree to which someone can receive and feel God’s love is in direct More >
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 >
Creating Our Lives
Jul 8th
Have you ever noticed how some people know — and others don’t realize — that we create our lives? I think God is so amazingly cool and generous to let us be co-creators with God. We get to use God’s energy to manifest anything we want or need or wish. And that’s why it’s so More >
So Here I Am…Living in Spiritual Community
Jul 6th
So here I am…living in spiritual community. It’s a challenge to explain to old friends and coworkers what it’s about. To simplify things, I usually end up telling people I live in a convent – even though I am not confined to the Center nor taking life vows – but it helps give people a More >
Coming Home
Jun 30th
Since being on this spiritual path, my life has changed and continues to change into more than I really ever believed was possible for me. Some days, I look around me and question how I got here. It is as if I were popped into someone else’s life. Then I realize that it is mine More >
Being Set Free
Jun 30th
Sunday morning, right before going to the Center, a wasp buzzed in the kitchen. As I took it into a napkin to release it outside, I realized how in the past I would have crushed it. Also, this made me think how the world is more often reacting to God’s loving touch and care by More >
I Never Would Have Searched So Intensely…
Jun 29th
I can remember before I started on this spiritual path I thought that the only way to have a relationship with God was through the pastors of the church. I thought that you had to go through them to find out anything God wanted you to know. So I would show up at church to More >
Definitely Worth the Effort
Jun 28th
I am so thankful for the Center of Light. This past Sunday, I was so happy and felt so much joy about going to the Center for our conclusion to our seminar weekend with Mother Clare. I just wanted to be surrounded and filled with the love of my teachers and community. Even though I More >
