    97. On Increasing and Deepening "Our Capacity for God"

    I’ve been working out how to offer the young people I love a vibrant faith that insists on their own goodness, their own original spark, and I am still fumbling a bit to give them language for encountering God. I believe that the long-way of conversion is a good way. And that Jesus’s invitation to move toward wholeness is the kind of faith I want for the kids I love.  I’m not sure if there’s an answer to these questions, but I do believe that for all of us who are reconstructing our faith with courage and great hope, we have to do so with the understanding that the ones who come after us will carry the scripts we give them.

    96. The Practice of Seeing in a Harsh World

    When we pray, when we practice holding tight to the vision God has for the world, it makes sense that we might begin to make eye contact as a form of prayer. You are important. You matter. I see you. What is the life of loving our neighbor if it isn’t the overflow of sacred love? Jonathan spent the day waiting to be seen. And my gift was that I had the longing of Holy Spirit in me, allowing me to see him, to take his hand in mine. Isnt' this the spiritual life? Presence, generosity of spirit, choosing to see ourselves as deeply loved by our Creator, and every other human we encounter as just as worthy of that love?

    95. On Being "At Peace and In Place"

    The work of God is not just slow, it’s remarkable. It’s intricate. It’s miraculous, precisely because it takes so much time. As I wrote last week, we are unlearning the ways of an anxious culture. When I first began this process of unlearning, I hoped it wouldn’t ache to release the anxious ways I had followed all of my life. But it did ache, and it still does. Slowing our work and bodies, and attempting to realign ourselves with the rhythm of the natural world involves real risk. It can hurt. We need mentors for such a task.    Find Lore Ferguson Wilbert's new book The Understory here.

    94. Contemplative Life—Strange, Mysterious, Queer

    Those unlearning the ways of an anxious culture are leaning into queerness as a metaphor for approaching the sacred: We are leaning into “possibilities beyond”...We’re learning a new path.   Find Jonathan Merritt's children's book My Guncle and Me here. Find Queering Contemplation by Cassidy Hall here. Find the Contemplating Now podcast episode I quoted from with Therese Taylor-Stinson here.

    93. A Conversation With Chris Hohorst (my husband!)

    This past week I made it home for good after a wild month of traveling and speaking about my book, just in time to sit down with my toughest reader, my life companion, and my favorite guy around, Chris Hohorst, on his experience of Blessed Are The Rest of Us. We've never done this sort of thing before, and it was a delight.  A few more links! Find out more about Suzanne Stabile here.
