Consciousness. Integrity. Love.
Thank God for the Light!
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 juvenile emotions.
I prayed often for Jesus to take this burden from me, and then one day, He did. It was the most real, literally real, experience I have had since starting this spiritual path. I was sitting with my two dearest friends whose mutual friendship had provoked the deepest sense of loss for me, and then I felt a lifting of this emotional burden being pulled out of me. All of a sudden I was different and I knew something real had just happened to me. I have maintained this feeling ever since.
This has given me a new trust in the reality of Jesus and Mary and I look forward to more “radical acts of Love” that Mother Clare blessed upon me this past weekend.

Mary of Magdala
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Over the past couple of weeks, at the Center of Light, Seattle we have been reading about and discussing the conversion of Mary Magdalene. Her story is a story of complete transformation. She went from being riddled with darkness to becoming one of the most faithful of the Master Jesus’ disciples. Hers is a journey More >
Dreaming of Brotherhood
about 1 year ago - No comments
When I was nine years old I remember my parents telling me, “we’re going to move just one more time.” They sincerely understood that it was getting harder to leave friends and schools as my sister and I got older. By the time we settled in Colorado one year later it was the eighth house More >
The Start of My Life in God

I was an artist. This was just what I was and if you asked me how I was going to support myself as an artist (was I going to be a commercial graphic designer? NO!) I would get very offended because that just didn’t matter to me as much as being “free” and making art More >
Not Your Parents’ Jesus and Mary

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?
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
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

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
about 1 year ago - No comments
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 >
Eco-Consciousness
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Here in the Seattle Center, we’re starting a new project—eco-consciousness—a chance for us to wake up to our relationship with the earth. This is totally new and it will evolve. The general idea is that at the beginning of each month, I send out an email to the community about an area for us to More >
Creating Our Lives
about 1 year ago - No comments
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
about 1 year ago - No comments
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 >
