Sacred Space: A Little Book of Encouragement by The Irish Jesuits Pdf

Jesus never promised that we would be free of difficulties in this life, that neither suffering nor hardship would cause us pain. What he did promise was to be with us no matter the situation—“even to the end of the age.” Sacred Space: A Little Book of Encouragement offers seventy short chapters to comfort us with God’s presence in the midst of life’s challenges and to remind us that Jesus journeys with us step-by-step. Each entry—which includes a Gospel reading, a short reflection, and a prayer—is given a descriptive title so that readers can easily find the encouragement they need depending on their situation at the time. Lovingly compiled by Vinita Hampton Wright using select material from Sacred Space (the online prayer site that serves millions of spiritual pilgrims), this inviting and reassuring little book gently reminds us of the compassion, care, and calm that God provides in our moments of need.

"Laughter Is Sacred Space is even funnier than Mennonite in a Little Black Dress—an authentic and profound snapshot of what it means to grow up and live Mennonite." —Howard Zehr, professor of restorative justice, Eastern Mennonite University "Ted Swartz is a gift.

Searching for Sacred Space by John Ander Runkle Pdf

Every Sunday we walk through those doors and enter a sacred space. It is familiar, maybe comforting--or maybe not. It might be downright uncomfortable and unwelcoming. What can we do about it? In twelve thoughtful and provocative essays, the writers ask important questions about the relationship between sacred spaces and the worship that takes place in them: -How do our buildings convey a vision of God's kingdom on earth? -How are our places of worship reflecting our beliefs? -In what visible, tangible forms are we proclaiming a faith in the living God? -How are our church buildings helping this church bring the Gospel into a new century?

When You Need a Reminder of How Loved You Are by Phoebe Garnsworthy Pdf

One day it just happens. You throw away all the limiting beliefs that you once held and learn that you are in charge of your own destiny. You realize that to find love you must first learn how to encompass love and use that self-love as the benchmark for teaching others how to treat you. You learn that wisdom is a beautiful gift that comes with age and that it is acquired through facing challenges and persevering, even in the face of utter grief. You learn that only in the darkest times can deep enlightenment and understanding be revealed. You learn that a broken heart not only mends, but it grows bigger and brighter than ever before. And from it, you are able to cherish every connection around you with so much more depth than you ever thought possible. You learn that in order to see clarity in your life, you must take a step back, look at yourself with self-awareness, with self-acceptance, and see the world from another’s view. And with every day you learn a little bit more about yourself, your life, and your connection with the Universe. And that there is one key element needed for all of this beautiful understanding to come through—the willingness to try again, no matter how many times you fall down, no matter how many times you fail, you must get back up and keep going. That’s the real secret. Resilience, acceptance, courage, and hope. It’s the unshakable faith in the Universe. It’s believing that you are always divinely guided, supported, loved, and cherished. It’s knowing that better days will always come. And if you need a reminder, then that’s what this little book brings: short extracts of motivation and inspiration to encourage you to keep going through life’s challenges. Each page holds wisdom to help you handle the task at hand with spiritual guidance and nurturing love. Simply open the book at random, or explore the chapters to find the theme of your current struggles. Let yourself be held in the infinite love of the Universe.

Cultivating Sacred Space by Elizabeth Murray Pdf

Linda Greenlaw hadn't been blue-water fishing for ten years, since the great events chronicled in The Perfect Storm and The Hungry Ocean, when an old friend offered her the captaincy on his boat, Seahawk, for a season of swordfishing. She took the bait, of course, and thus opened a new chapter in a life that had already seen enough adventure for three lifetimes.The Seahawk turns out to be the rustiest of buckets, with sprung, busted, and ancient equipment guaranteed to fail at any critical moment. Life is never dull out on the Grand Banks, and no one is better at capturing the flavor and details of the wild ride that is swordfishing, from the technical complexities of longline fishing and the nuances of reading the weather and waves to the sheer beauty of the open water. The trip is full of surprises, "a bit hardier and saltier than I had hoped for," but none more unexpected than when the boat's lines inadvertently drift across the Canadian border and she lands in jail. Seaworthy is about nature -- human and other; about learning what you can control and what you do when fate takes matters out of your control. It's about how a middle-aged woman who sets a high bar for herself copes with challenge and change and frustration, about the struggle to succeed or fail on your own terms, and above all, about learning how to find your true self when you're caught between land and sea.

Sacred Spaces by Margaret Silf Pdf

There are many books that explore actual, physical, sacred space and pilgrimage sites. This is a different kind of book. It introduces seven traditional 'sacred spaces' but then leads readers into a deeper reflection on what such 'sacred space' means in our own lives and experience. The various sacred spaces explored are: the Celtic Cross; the infinite knot; hilltops; wells and springs; causeways and bridges; thresholds and burial grounds; and boundaries. In each chapter, the author introduces a 'sacred space' as the main theme and then illustrates this by associating it with a particular stage of life and a particular sacramental experience. The ideas are then brought together by means of a scripture story.

Sacred Pauses by April Yamasaki Pdf

In a fast-paced world full of distractions, spiritual practice can help us become more centered-more in touch with ourselves and others, more in touch with the world around us, more in touch with God. Sacred Pauses is an introduction to this more centered way of life. The author, a pastor in British Columbia, begins with her own longing for personal renewal. What would it take to feel renewed every day? Instead of waiting for a vacation to smooth out the tensions of life, instead of waiting until the end of the week to shed our weariness, what if we could take time out every day? Live a renewed life every day? Be refreshed by God every day? Sacred Pauses offers simple ways for readers to do just that. Each chapter explores a different spiritual practice-from the classic disciplines of Scripture reading and prayer to other creative approaches such as paying attention, making music, and having fun. With plenty of stories from real life and ideas to try, this book is personal and practical. Its flexible format is appropriate for personal use or in a group, every day or any time.
