Mystic Heart Spiritual Center is
|
Mystic Heart is a welcoming and accepting Spiritual Community that supports, promotes, and celebrates your growth in body, mind, and spirit. We are an Independent Interfaith Community, where people of all ages, races, creeds, ethnicities, sexualities, and abilities come together, not as groups separated by their differences, but as human beings celebrated for their individuality. We welcome all faith paths, philosophical points of view, and ways of life that acknowledge and honor the Divine, and support and uplift the growth and evolution of the planet and its beings. We see Evolution and Creation as two aspects of one process that is forever moving life forward, and we understand that each of us is an integral part of that process, leaving our direct imprint on the evolution of humanity.
November Message from the Rev… Spirit of Life, Forever Graceful
This is the theme for the month of November at Mystic Heart. It reminds us that no matter the appearances in the world, Grace is always freely given. Our job is to look for it… uncover the blessings that shower down upon us every day, and give thanks.
With the celebration of Thanksgiving each year, we are reminded to acknowledge the countless gifts we enjoy as citizens of a first world nation. Those who are reading this message are likely safe and warm in a comfortable dwelling…have a bed to sleep in, a warm shower and a mug of something warm in the morning, food in the fridge, and a warm coat for the winter. All of our true needs are met, and more! During the month of November, join me in spending some extra time counting our blessings. Let’s look for the Grace that is always present, and give thanks for the many ways it flows through our lives. At our Sunday Gatherings, we will plunge into deep reflection and Conscious Conversation, exploring the spiritual Practice of Gratitude. We’ll take steps towards making it our business to live thankful lives, sharing our gratitude with the people who touch our lives.
I close with a prayer written by Taz Tagore in his book Seasons of Thanks:
May we join hands around the dinner table to pray for the strength and patience to love one another. May our circle grow with every birth and union into a community united by love… May every hardship make our circle stronger. May it teach us that whenever we reach out in need, our hands will always be clasped in the palms of others.”
May we, at Mystic Heart, feel and know the support of Spiritual Family. May each of us be blessed this Holy Day Season, and may we share our blessings with others.
