Two stunning sermons. Thank you Gabby. Won't be in church this Sunday as
I'll already be back in the UK - just.
I loved John's sermon based on 'The Way'. What a lovely, quiet, thought
provoking movie it is. I have two friends who have walked the Cammino
to Compostela, - one did it for the first time at the age of 69, the
other has just done it for the fourth time for her father who has
termonal cancer - as a spiritual exercise for both of them. I am
intrigued by John's reflection that it is at the precise point of our
disfigurements, and our finding out 'is that all there is?' that we can
come to revelation.
Peter's sermon too, I loved - I was there to hear it, and it is also
about pilgrimage - about The Way, being what it is all about. We so
often thing we have to be 'enlightened by next Thursday', - that there
is something we have to do, some state we have to reach, some ultimate
goal after which everything will be happy ever after. For some rare
souls, known as Enlightened Masters there does seem to be a moment of
revelation that changes everything - my experience has been more like a
series of them, interspersed with long periods of slog and wondering
what it is all about. And then the Light dawns again. Only it's a
different slant on the same Light. Love to all Pamela ,
