The Work of the Spirit

Here at the Conference, each morning begins with Centering Prayer.  Each afternoon ends with Centering Prayer.  Hundreds of people sit together in the Silence.  This is what gives energy to plans, and renews our patience and generosity on mornings like Friday, when we have Regional Meetings and the Annual Business Meeting.  It is easy to see how Spirit inspires the words of Fr. Thomas and Gail, but the equal miracle is how Spirit opens us to do the less exciting jobs with love and with increased care for each other on the journey.  For this we are daily grateful.
