Life as Worship

All of Life is God. To be alive is to participate in God. To work for justice for creation and our Brothers and Sisters in Humanity is to worship God. Celebrate Life in order to Celebrate God. In your day remember and reflect who it is who's essence you move in and that is God!

Pray:
Welcome the day. Welcome the joys and struggles of life. Recognize that God did not curse you with tragedy or bless you with blessings denied to others. God has not done those things to you, but has done something even more remarkable - has gifted you with You and more than that the family and community you are in. The Gift of God is the Gift of Life, of time, of today and all the relationships you will engage in. Pray in action, reflection and contemplation.

Feast:
To participate in a meal is to participate in the gifts of God. It is to take energy form that which God has made. To eat with family is to create sacred space where we celebrate our diversity and our unity. To eat is to remember those who cannot eat, to reclaim the energy to advocate for those that find food scarce.

Love:
Love those you know and those you do not know. To do so is to spread the love of God. Love breaks down barriers and asks us to confront our own limitations and hesitations.

These are only a few of the spiritual practices all of humanity is called to participate in.
