“A Blessing from the Divine Feminine”
It is not possible for us the comprehend all the “faces” of God while we are in human form. However, we do experience many facets of the Divine, one of them being the nurturing, protecting nature that we often find reflected in the natural world. Today we focus on the feminine aspect of God---the one we have experienced in quiet moments of reflection and in those who have sheltered and encouraged us in our lives.
Music with Gail Gonzales, Curtis Brengle, Jeff Stocki, and Scott Wade

A Franciscan Benediction
May God bless you with DISCOMFORT…
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with ANGER…
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with TEARS…
To shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
And to turn their pain into JOY.
And may God bless you with enough FOOLISHNESS…
To believe that you can make a difference in this world.

My friends,
This is what we’re all about, isn’t it? This beautiful benediction contains the paradox of living a human and divine existence, as well as giving a call to social action wherever we are led. I plan to live in these words as often as I can in the days ahead---will you join me?
And let me wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, all the nurturing ones (regardless of gender)!
Much love and many blessings,
Rev Jill

Courtney Honor's Nepal Journey So Far!
We made it! We’re in Nepal. Noah and I, along with one of our best friends, Joey, got accepted to the All Hands and Hearts Nepal program to help build a health post in Dudhauli.
We flew into Kathmandu and spent a few days exploring and shopping in preparation for our journey down south. We then took a quite eventful 11 hour bus ride with 25 other volunteers to our base that we will call home for the next month.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me make this happen. I will hopefully be posting more often now that we are settled and will share photos of Dudhauli and the worksite soon.
I am also currently working on a fundraising page so that you are able to directly donate to this organization and help support these beautiful communities they work with. The link will be in my next post!
