The Return to Commitment
|
|
“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism."
Attributed to Abraham Lincoln
Apathy is something that can sneak into our lives without our really being aware of its existence. Or if we are aware, we may choose to deny the reality of its hold over us, or we may not have the energy required to move ourselves from its grip.
Apathy can be present in one or many areas of our lives, be it work, relationship, or our own self-care. It can also be described as depression. Whatever we choose to call it, we can move through this state by re-commiting to love ourselves and to loving our life. We can begin again to be grateful for what we have rather than focusing on what we do not have. We can commit to our time in prayer and meditation no matter what the outcome is. We can accept the darkness that we have not faced in our lives. We can forgive ourselves, most of all, for the things we think we have done. Place yourself in the consciousness of the divine love and accept the love being offered to you. And keep accepting it.
We are moving into the time of Lent, leading up to Easter and the Resurrection. Let this Lenten time be one of pilgrimage back into spiritual commitment. Let Easter rise within you. Let yourself resurrect into new life and the consciousness ever waiting to give birth within you. Take this resurrected life into the world and live with the integrity of the Christ love.
May the Mother's tenderness be always with you

JOURNEYING INTO LOVE: ASSISI PILGRIMAGE & RETREAT
OCTOBER 26-31, 2008
This pilgrimage will focus on the teachings and life of Clare of Assisi. It will also include teachings from my new book on Sacred Companionship. We will learn about Clare and Francis and their most beautiful and extraordinary relationship, which was based on the spirit of sacred love. We will learn how we can incorporate this same love into our daily living with our various companions, whether intimate, friends, or healing connections. We have many companions on this earth.
We have the great honor to gather and meditate in a very sacred space right in Assisi, which is dedicated to all the world religions and contemplation. We also have exclusive use of a converted monastery, where we will all be staying. It is also right in Assisi and has a lovely little terrace that looks out over the valley. Very picturesque in the misty mornings. I feel blessed that I can offer these places to you.
"Above all, be lovers of your souls." Clare of Assisi
