“Our charism… sends us into the world as continuous acts of love, a love that is active and inclusive, patient and enduring, fearless and tender, forgiving and giving, steady and steadfast. It forms bridges, makes connections easier and facilitates life for others, enabling them also to stir up love in our world.” Sister Marcia Allen, CSJ Concordia, KS

Personal Reflection
(choose the questions that speak to you)
| 1. What is it like for me to ponder that God breathes in and through me? . . . in and through all others . . . .in and through all creation? What are implications of this reality for me? |
| 2. Do I approach all of creation with a sense of wonder? How can I nurture this sense of wonder in myself and in others? |
| 3. How comfortable am I with being a work in progress? |
| 4. Is there a person or situation I find challenging or difficult? a. What is my usual way of responding? b. If necessary, how might I change so as to focus on possibilities? |
| 5. Where in my life (or in global realities) do I have opportunities for being a co-creator with God (that is, for bringing forth new or deepening life and wholeness)? What attitudes and behaviors does this draw forth from me? |
| 6. How do I nurture my attentiveness to the presence of God's Spirit working within myself, within all persons, and within all creation? |
| 7. After listening to the video segment All-Permeating Love, what do I experience as a challenge or as an area for growth as a leader in the mission of unity? |
