An intentional, Christ-centered community focused on hospitality, contemplation, and service
John Lewis’s last admonition for Americans and all those who pursue life as The Beloved Community: “Together, You can Redeem the Soul of the Nation” by John Lewis
John Lewis, Beloved American (1940-2020)
“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.”
“I don’t have the power to grant my next breath, but what if my next breath came from a well of deep gratitude? And the next breath? and so on. Then I would be living the ‘Eucharistic Life” where all is gifted grace.”
Pray, discern, and take Spirit-led action in the difficult and long work of restorative justice, community healing, and reconciliation.

“Lilies from last year, left to sit outside all winter, bloomed once again this Easter. May this be a token of encouragement for renewal in our lives and our world…”
We lift our eyes upward to the hills
The everlasting hills of mercy
We fix our gaze upon the mountains
The remembering mountains of paradise
(David Morrison, with a borrowing from the Psalms)
