Each month we WILL seek to be formed through a particular common practice.
Throughout AUGUST our Sunday liturgy, shared meals, and group reflection will all center around the common practice of forgiveness.
Our Common Practice Guide for August has a full list of this month’s scripture, poetry, recommended books, podcasts, practices, and quotes.
If the full guide feels too overwhelming, check out how we’re practicing this week!
Help us co-create this resource, by sharing what has been most helpful for you! Submit it here, and we’ll add it to our guide + share it with the community.
“Our mind is like a garden that contains all kinds of seeds: seeds of understanding, forgiveness, and mindfulness, and also seeds of anger, fear, and resentment. When the seeds of anger and resentment are watered in us several times a day, they grow stronger. Then we are unable to be happy, unable to accept and forgive ourselves; we suffer and we make those around us suffer. Yet when we know how to cultivate the seeds of love, forgiveness, and understanding, those seeds become stronger, and we nourish peace and acceptance within and around us.”
