Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox

Week of August 22-27: How Do We Both Care for and
Celebrate Our Earth? |
Each Sunday, from now on, we will offer a brief summary of the meditations from the previous week. This will be a kind of “index” that invites you to return to a previous meditation which may call to you. Over the past week we have covered a number of topics. We began with Julian of Norwich who had the universe in the palm of her
hand, then we heard from "geologian" Thomas Berry on the Cosmic Christ. |
We then spent two days with St. John of the Cross and his words on the sacredness of creation. And finally we did two days on Grief--Grief over Climate
change, and learning to have apppreciation and praise in spite of all the suffering and grief. |

DM 8/22/2022 Thomas Berry on the Cosmic
Christ. Catholic priest and eco-prophet Thomas Berry talks about how, if we want to save our planet, “We must invent, or reinvent, a sustainable human culture by a descent into our prerational, our instinctive resources.” |

DM 8/26/2022 Grief and Praise, Walking Together. How do we express our very real grief for this beleaguered Earth while simultaneously recognizing the importance of giving thanks for it? Rilke writes, “Walk your walk of
lament upon a path of praise.” |
