This document is from The Voice Online and discusses being alone with God through prayer and reflection. It encourages readers to get away from crowds and distractions to spend time alone with God. It provides the example of Brother Lawrence, who found a way to be alone with God even when busy or among others. The overall message is that true faith involves cultivating an inner spiritual life through prayer and Scripture, and being alone with God helps one grow closer to Him.
In the May issue of Heartfulness Magazine, we dive deep into our contributors' meditation practices. One writer comes to it through their personal journey from childhood to old age, others from the perspective of epigenetics, by analogy with gardening, in bringing simplicity to daily life, and most significantly with insight into how meditation aids in the evolution of consciousness. In every instance this wisdom brings insight to everyday living. Join us in this feast for the inner world!
For children, there is a wonderful activity on gratitude, and the second part of the story of the beautiful white elephant, Mana.
Inside, find details of the upcoming Heartfulness conventions in Detroit, Los Angeles and New Jersey in the month of June. We invite those of you who live in the US to join the convention closest to you to experience Heartfulness meditation firsthand.

This is a study of the humanity of Jesus. He was both God and man, and it had to be this way to achieve His purpose for coming into the world. He was a real human with all of the real human characteristics of a human being,

This weekend we hear in Matthew’s Gospel of John the Baptist sitting in a jail cell and wondering if he placed his bets on the wrong guy…questioning if the Lord is anywhere near to him. Then again, when we are faced with adversity, doubt, and loss how often have we questioned “Where is God?” and “Is the Lord anywhere near?” See how a street corner in Louisville and the wisdom of Thomas Merton may just open our eyes to see in a new way so that we can join in the chorus of Gaudete! Rejoice! on this 3rd Sunday of Advent.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
