Dear Ones,
It was His Holiness the Dalai Lama who beautifully shared his thoughts on compassion in this way: “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” This is not such a tall task as it may first seem, as each of us has within us a nurturing nature; perhaps, it is simply more developed in some than in others. Jesus’ thought of “turning the other cheek” is not weakness but wisdom, as we are not served by resentment or retaliation.
Once we have shifted emotionally from reaction to response, we can touch that Center of Peace and Compassion within us, acknowledging Spirit’s Presence within everyone, giving a soft answer, and establishing an authentic connection. Nothing is lost in opening our hearts to each other; in fact, everything is gained, and we all “win” as we let Love lead the way.
This Sunday, Mother’s Day, Rev. Mike will be speaking on, “Nature AND Nurture” in United Church of Christ of Valley Forge’s beautiful Sanctuary at 45 Walker Rd., Wayne, PA. Come be with loving, bright, compassionate friends. Those out of the area may be with us by tuning in at 1:00 P.M. by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org and clicking on the orange “Watch Online” button.
My 7-to-8-week class, “The Mystical Path,” begins one week from tonight, May 13th on Zoom, from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M. We will meet four Tuesdays in a row, have a short break on May 10th, then resume either three or four Tuesdays, concluding early July. This CSL Accredited Class is designed for seven weeks; yet, we may choose to add an eighth, if we so choose. Click here for more information and to register.
Our trained Professional Practitioners can always be reached on their page on our website whenever you require spiritual support. They also offer the gift of a brief “Three-Minute-Miracle” after Celebration on Sundays, and the Prayer Chest is available to receive your requests.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
