Weekly Inspiration (9/28/22)

An Episcopal Nun has taken to social media to spread the Good News:
Sister Monica Clare of the Convent of St. John the Baptist says:
"A lot of people who are not religious, not spiritual are responding to what I'm saying because we all have the same struggles, we all have the same questions," the sister said. "That is why we are here on this earth is to form loving connections with fellow human beings."

Indeed, many of her secular followers still seek spiritual help, even asking her to pray for them.
"It's very heartening to me to see people who say, 'I'm not a believer but could you pray for me?' because I really think it's wonderful that even when people don't believe in God, they don't believe in religion, they still believe in prayer."

In a TikTok video, she told her followers that the sisters have great joy in praying for people, which is why they go into chapel six times a day.
"A lot of us really do want this positive energy of love and compassion to spread — I want it to be contagious," Sister Monica Clare said. "I want people on social media to spread as much positive love as they can."

Poem of the Week

The Place Where We Are Right
Yehuda Amichai

From the place where we are right
Flowers will never grow
In the spring.

The place where we are right
Is hard and trampled
Like a yard.

But doubts and loves
Dig up the world
Like a mole, a plow.
And a whisper will be heard in the place
Where the ruined
House once stood.
