    23rd Sunday in the Kingdom of Heaven is Now time. Lots of laughter as we tackle some very tough readings. We ask ourselves (and you) this question: "What tempts me in my daily life? What is hard for me to renounce or let go of?" "If it is true that the ability to be puzzled is the beginningof wisdom, then this truth is a sad commentary on the wisdom of modern man. Whatever the merits of our high degree of literary and universal education, wehave lost the gift for being puzzled." ----Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm We mention this quote from Thomas Merton: “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”Laura was searching for this this part of Rumi's poem, The Great Wagon."Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,there is a field. I’ll meet you there." Laura quotes Erich Neumann on a provocative message in the Psyche and Eros mythMarci tells the story of St. Francis, his father, and the Bishop.

    EP 30 - 22nd Sunday in TKOHIN, August 31, 2025
    Aug 29 2025

    22nd Sunday in The Kingdom of Heaven is Now Time. We explore the Hebrew word for humility.

    Excerpts quoted from this site. “How am I using the Divine gifts that have been given to me? Am I reaching my own potential for greatness?”

    This sentiment is powerfully encapsulated in the Hebrew word for humility, anavah. While the English word humility originates from the Latin, humilis, meaning meekness or lowliness, anavah stems from the word anu, meaning “to respond.”


    Also found this lovely quote related to this concept. “Every person should have two pockets. In one pocket should be a piece of paper saying: ‘I am but dust and ashes.’ When one is feeling too proud, reach into this pocket and take out this paper and read it. In the other pocket should be a piece of paper saying: ‘For my sake was the world created.’ When one is feeling disheartened and lowly, reach into this pocket and take this paper out and read it. We are each the joining of two worlds. We are fashioned from clay, but our spirit is the breath of Adonai.”

    (Tales of The Hasidim Later Masters, Martin Buber, p.249-50)


    Marci uses the word theophonies -

    1. a visible manifestation to humankind of God or a god."the great theophany of Sinai"

    21st Sunday in The Kingdom of Heaven is Now Time.

    We talk about the challenge of diversity and ask the question, “Who makes me uncomfortable?”

    We explore the idea that we are all fugitives in a strange land and the integration of all parts in the Kingdom.

    We talk about the power of discipline to create strength through practice.

    Laura mentions her longing for a loving community and uses the Greek word agape.

    We mention the author of Women Who Run with the Wolves, Clarrisa Pinkola Estes. And much more!
