Don't worry, you won't be asked to speak of these hopes to our companions. (No one needs to know what each of us truly hopes for.)   Bring them with you mentally, or write them down if you are so inclined, so that you can consider them during the gathering.  The Path of Transformation can't be traversed without a vision of where the road might lead.  Our hopes can shape our vision, so let's take a risk and consider what each of us individually might see in the future!  Let us each have a powerful vision of what might be in the next day, month, year, decade or generation!

We are each called to present God to the world...to model Jesus' example of being both human and divine to everyone we encounter.  We can stimulate that process by daring to hope.  Our responsibility is to support each other on our individual journeys.  We may not know where each other want or need to be, what any single individual's hopes are, but we can be a light on that path.

I look forward to creating a vision with you based on your hope this Sunday at Sacred Gathering!
