​THE CALL TO PEACE

Once more we are called to peace – to know peace within us, become the expression of peace around us and hold the vision of peace in the world.

When life is at its darkest, the light shines more brightly. As we seek to connect with another human being, we can come to understand them, even dare I say it, love them. For everyone acts out of fear or love. As we seek to see the divine potential within every person, we find it. For as Jesus taught us, “‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7: 7-9

When we are disturbed by what is happening in the world (which after all is a very human and understandable response), it is our call, our invitation, to re-centre in understanding and peace. We can do this by reconnecting with God as Peace in the very midst of us. Then we can make a choice in how we see and respond in the world, for what we focus on expands. If we focus on what is wrong, it increases in our experience. When we focus on what is good, this increases in our experience. It becomes our daily practise to ask ourselves, “What do I What do I want to experience?”
(Join our Conversation in Unity this Tuesday to discuss further).

To help us, we can seek to see everyone as fully human and fully divine. As human beings, we are all finding our way, making mistakes and learning on the path. As divine beings, we already are peace, for we know our Oneness with all of Life, including each other, our Self and Universal Life/God.

Our practise of prayer and meditation becomes our faith. Our faith grows with practise. The light shines more brightly. We become the peace we seek. We act peacefully in our world. We are the vision and activity that supports others so that, together, we live as peace.

​Join with us on our practise of faith and peace. Join us online through Zoom for our many prayer and meditation meetings. And join us in person when we visit Edinburgh, Exeter, Sheffield and Wolverhampton. We love to be with you and honour the journey we are on, together.
