A mid-week message from our Pastor:
The book Living Simply offers this advice: “Simplicity, then, is the gift to live a holy life. It is the gift to live in the deeper awareness of connectedness to others and to all creation. It is the gift to travel lightly because accumulation of things, people, and experiences are unnecessary for our joy. In Christ all things are ours, and we belong to them. When St. Francis called the sun and moon, water and fire his sisters and brothers, he was being not so much a romantic as he was witnessing to the wholeness of life. Since we do not have to accumulate things for our survival, we are able to care for all of life rather than use it up. We are able to live freely with compassion because we do not have to be minding our possessions.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
