A DEEPER HUNGER

Let us not make a mistake – that the hunger is only for a piece of bread.  The hunger of today is so much greater:  for love – to be wanted, to be loved, to be cared for, to be somebody. 

Quote by Mother Theresa

REFLECTION:

  • Telling your truth, what do you really hunger for today?  How can you get that need met? 
  • How can you “feed” someone else today? Who is it?  What will you do?

PEOPLE ….

Relationships move at the speed of trust and social change moves at the speed of relationships.

Quote by Rev. Jen Bailey from The Peoples Supper Organization

REFLECTION:

  • Examine your relationships.  Which ones have a high level of trust?  Which ones do you need to build trust?
  • Is there a social change you are seeking?  How can you build trust with another/others for a stronger relationship to impact social change?

WHAT IS LOVE?

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word “love” here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace – not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”

Quote from James Baldwin

REFLECTION:

  • Who loves/loved you so much that you were able to take off your mask?
  • Are you wearing a mask now?    How does that mask express? 
  • What mask can you no longer live within? 
  • How can you express more love today to support someone in taking off their mask?
