THE DAILY SPARK

WHAT PREVAILS?

“This is a moral universe, which means that despite all the evidence that seems to be to the contrary, there is no way that evil and injustice and oppression and lies can have the last word… that is what has upheld the morale of our people, to know that in the end good will prevail.”

Quote by The Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, OMSG DD FKC Anglican Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa

REFLECTION: 

  • Reread this… how do you feel after reading this?
  • Do you believe in the end, good will prevail?
  • Reflect on an  experience you had that in the end, despite what was unjust or evil , good prevailed?

REALLY WANT TO LOVE?

“We know that if we really want to love we must learn to forgive.”

Quote by Mother Theresa

REFLECTION:

  • Is there someone you need to forgive?
  • Do you need to forgive yourself for something?

WHAT PRICE?

“Do you feel you have been angry long enough?”

Question from the Dali Lama to sujatha baliga ….  She is a survivor of child sexual abuse by her father.   She carried anger until her mid-20’s when she had a private audience with the Dali Lama where he posed this question. She now speaks publicly about the abuse and the path to forgiveness.  Here is a link to learn more about her and Restorative Justice: https://impactjustice.org/focus/

REFLECTION:

  • Is there someone or something you have a long held anger toward? 
  • Is it time to let go of the anger?
