An Upper Room Experience
The Chapter in Munnar, India, was an experience that will stay deep within my consciousness throughout my days. Over 70 brothers and the wider ERN gathered in Kolkata, New Delhi and Mumbai to enter respectfully the mosques, temples and churches of some of the world’s great Religious Faiths. In every case we found fellow pilgrims who were astonished that a group of Christian brothers and sisters from across the globe would desire and dare to come humbly to learn of an alternate way to seek the Mystery we name God.

What is this precious love and
laughter
Budding
in our hearts?
It is the glorious sound
Of
a soul waking up [Hafiz]
Some things in
life cannot be accounted for by mere human
reasoning. We can get caught up in events that are
not of our choosing and which come upon us
unexpectedly. If we truly believe that nothing
happens by chance, all one can do is say yes when
the invitation comes. And it is in such fashion
that I have been recently blessed.
Out of the blue I received an invitation from Br.
Liam O’Meara to visit Belarus and attend the
opening of the Mary Rice Home in Cherven. I had
vaguely heard of Cherven because of the work being
done by Liam and the Burren Chernobyl Trust, but
had no further knowledge of it. I looked at my
calendar and discovered that I did have some time
when no one would miss me. So I told him that I
would be glad to go. God uses simple decisions like
this to stretch one’s horizons and reveal a little
more how God views the
world.
