We’ll stick with the usual 11:00 am time on October 10th. Thanks for your responses.

Rosalie forwarded the prayer she selected to conclude our last meeting. Thanks! Here it is. Happy Reading!

On the level of Love,
we are heatfelt, generous, nurturing, affectionate, steadfast, and forgiving.
Love is protective, collaborative, uplifting, holisitc, and gracious.
It is characterized by
warmth, gratitude, appreciation, humility, completion, vision, purity of motive, and sweetness.

Love is a way of being.

It is the energy that radiates when the blocks to it have been surrendered.
It is more than an emotion or a thought – it is a state of being.

Love is what we have become through the pathway of surrender.

It is a way of being in the world that says:
“How can I be of help to you?”
“How can I comfort you?”
“How can I loan you money when you´re broke?”
“How can I help you find a job?”
“How can I console you when you´ve suffered a major loss in your family”

Lovingness is a way through which we light up the world.

Hi!

First of all, a huge shout out to Rosalie and Omi for guiding our September discussion and doing such a great job! Thank you so very much. They recommend giving it a try — you will read differently.

Our next meeting is October 10th to discuss Just As You Are by Paul Coutinho, SJ. That’s at eleven.

The Bob & Marlene Strauss funeral is at ten.

Do you want to meet at one o’clock instead???

Thanks,

Karla
