Dear Ones,
I love Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ statement, “It’s only the G-D of light that can defeat the darkness in the human soul.” Understanding that the Divine Light is everlasting and that human challenges are transitory, we realize that having faith in that which is Eternal is the wisest and most beneficial mindset possible. So called “miracles” happen every day, and they are simply the expression of the Divine showing up in our human experience, a very natural manifestation of the way Spirit works when we open our hearts and minds to It.
Whether celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas, or any other holiday of Light, let’s become more deeply aware of the One Light that illumines all life, steadily nurturing, lifting, and guiding us all to a steadfast consciousness of deep faith and ever-expanding joy.
Continuing this month’s theme, “Bring in the Light,” this Sunday will focus on, “The Light That Cannot Be Extinguished,” which is observed and celebrated in many faith traditions. In fact, Hanukkah begins next Sunday and continues for eight days, each day bringing more light and recalling the “Miracle of the Oil. “ Enjoy a short meditation with our Practitioner of the Day at 12:30, then gather in the Sanctuary for our 1:00 P.M. ET Celebration. If you are out of the area, please join us online by logging on to our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually.
Whenever any challenges may arise in our personal lives, we know we may reach out to any of our Licensed Professional Practitioners to lift us in prayer and assist in in deepening our faith. Click here to see their dedicated page on our website and contact any of them for a personal appointment. They are also here for “3-Minute Miracles” for brief meetings on Sundays after service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment by the “God Squad.”
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
