Last night's Contemplative Spirituality Group for LGBTQIA+ folks and our allies was really lovely. We had more people than usual, and the conversation was fascinating. We are always invited to bring our whole selves - just as we are, experience God, and see what happens.

When Christian Nationalism imagines greatness it thinks of power and domination
When Jesus imagines greatness he thinks of humility and service

Good morning, beloved.
Liberation is never realized without intention, and it has always been a group endeavor.

In rainbow lettering on a black background from a scratch off pad, it says "You're finding your Fuck it!"
The words fuck it! Are in bubble letters
Sometimes a friend says something and you realize you don't want to forget it because it's the reminder you needed.
Yup! Sometimes you need to say "Fuck it!"

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.
You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

I think Pope Leo contributes necessary nuance to the conversation.
However, I keep seeing (well meaning) people defend (bad faith) rebuttals to his comments by saying that โJesus stopped a death penaltyโ in John 8 andโฆ that is not what happened.

Compassion isnโt a weakness.
Empathy isnโt a sin.
Cruelty isnโt a strength.
Vengeance isnโt a virtue.
โWoe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." -Isaiah 5:20

Good morning, beloved.
If you cannot see the light, try to be the light. Even if you fail, youโll remember that we donโt have to settle for darkness.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Today we honor the children taken, the survivors, and the strength of our Nations. Truth and Reconciliation Day is a call to listen, learn, and stand with us. The path forward is built on truth, respect, and action, together.

Ainโt much good in warning people about an eternal torment while ignoring the temporal hells that torture bodies & souls in the here & now.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

I love my Monday night LGBTQIA+ contemplative spirituality group. I've had a pretty stressful, anxious day, but this community always welcomes me as I am and the Spirit meets me there. I'm always grateful for our shared experience of the Divine.
