Alone With The Heavens

*



The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

~ Anne Frank

Inuit Song

*

I think over again my small adventures, my fears,

These small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

And yet there is only one great thing,

The only thing.

To live to see the great day that dawns
and the light that fills the world.


- Inuit song

The Hunger Site

*

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

- Mahatma Gandhi



Wondering what you can do, right now? Saint Anne's now has a link to The Hunger Site on the side bar to the left. (You may have to scroll down a bit.) You can also click right here:

If you have just an extra second each day, you can "Click to Give", at The Hunger Site. It's easy and it's free and you can donate a cup of rice, daily, simply by visiting the site and clicking on the appropriate button.

(The Hunger Site also has an amazing, fair-trade, store at which to shop to give more!)

Happy clicking!

Final Thoughts On Lambeth

*

Are we whole? Not yet. I am not sure we shall be whole as this Communion within the lifetime of any one of us, maybe ever. On the other hand, that concept of wholeness may itself be an idol, for it is God who does the weaving and knitting and molding so that we may be one as a communion even when we are not of one mind. We may never be able to be of one mind, but we may be able to be of one heart, by God's grace.

- An excerpt from Bishop James Jelinek's thoughts at the conclusion of the Lambeth Conference.
