Letter from a Prisoner

by Rev. Joseph Wolfe, O.M.C.

The following is a letter from a prisoner I received just this past July (2015). Like many other letters received over the years, this one expresses the deep level of gratitude that pours out from behind prison walls.

To Joe Wolfe, Spirit Light Outreach; PO Box 443, Enola PA 17025-0443

A few weeks ago I received a copy of (your book) Letter To A Prisoner. I spent several days reading and re-reading it and am presently in the process of reading it for a third time, using a high-lighter to mark those passages that jump out at me. Last week I started exercises (365 daily lessons from the Workbook in A Course in Miracles) and I am committed to sticking with it.

Celebrating a Journey

by Rev. Georgeanne Medved

I have not had much to say or write lately. Our Mother made her transition in June and I was so very happy for her, but also sad for myself and our family. Mother did not want to be on this plane anymore and refused all medications and help. She told each of us that she loved us and goodbye.

She was 93 and her organs simply shut down. Imagine the prayers we all said imploring God to take her in His arms the last ten days of her life. She wanted to be with God and we let go and let Him decide the day and time.

Awakening Through My Special Relationships — Part 5: My Frenchman

by Rev. Linda LaCasse, O.M.C.

This article is Part 5 in a series of articles of Holy Spirit’s use of my special relationships for the purpose of healing. It picks up where I left off in Part 4 with the miracles I experienced prior to traveling to Europe to visit my daughter, Danielle and alluding to more miracles while there which led to my living a miraculous life today. 

I arrived in Paris a week before Christmas, 2011. I could not have been happier! Not only was I about to be united with my daughter who reflects my love and joy but I was in one of my favorite places, the city of lights and love. From the instant I saw my daughter jumping up and down trying to catch my eye on the other side of the window in the airport upon my arrival to the time she left me once I’d boarded the train from Strasbourgh back to Paris two weeks later to catch my flight, it was non-stop abundance of love, peace, joy and one-mindedness!

Why

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

In a world where hate and fear abound…

Why are we afraid to show our love?

Why do we walk right by a suffering soul and harden our hearts?

Why do we avoid our brother’s glance and withhold a loving smile?

Why do we think lovingly of the others in our lives only to withhold its expression?

My Brother

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

Can I truly know his path
Do I know his unseen pain
His hidden heartaches
fears and shame
If holy writ bids never judge
Then wrongly I have
nursed my grudge

How Practicing the Course Lessons Brings True Salvation

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

One of the challenges that keeps coming up for me is what to do when I perceive there is something wrong with the body. Do I rush to the doctor or rush to the medicine cabinet for a pill to take care of the problem? Thank goodness God put the Holy Spirit in our minds to help us sort out what is real from what isn’t. I’m learning that the purpose of every challenge that presents itself to me is only an opportunity to show me where there is still a need to heal my thinking about what I think the problem is.

However, sometimes, when I am experiencing a lot of fear, I am not sure whether I am listening to Spirit or the ego that at times can sound so spiritual.

How Does True Healing Occur?

by Rev. Rosemarie Tropf, O.M.C.

Is it possible to achieve healing from God when this illness has gone on for so long? This is the question we discussed as a group recently at our monthly call for the Chronically Ill Support Group. It was my turn to answer that question. Here is what I answered:

ACIM Lesson 136 says healing is of the mind, not the body. I can remember as an eight year old faking pain to stay home from Sunday School. It worked until about 30 minutes after I said it. Then I was jumping around on the bed with my sisters and my mum said, “You aren’t sick. Get dressed Missy, off to church with you.” I crumpled onto the bed and tried to insist that I was sick. “Please believe me,” I said. That is making use of the mind to create a sick body.

The Chronic and Critical Illness Support Group that meets on a monthly basis has started addressing some of the questions that come to the group. Each participant in these meetings volunteers to address one of the questions and then everyone else in the group adds their comments.

We invite everyone to join in our monthly meetings and share in these discussions. We meet the first Sunday of every month at 11:30 a.m. CT. The telephone number is: 1-712-775-7031 and the access code is: 399-899-796. The following is a discussion we had on the following question which I volunteered to address, followed by group discussion.

When someone dies from a certain illness, does that mean they were not healed?

Peace

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

I use Peace to center me
I feel peace as Me
I return to Peace and all is well.
What a wonderful feeling Peace truly is.

I think Peace and it shifts
From confusion to clarity
My heart beats but I don’t really feel it.
My heart is no longer an organ but Peace
It is not even at peace but just Peace.

Today I Learn to Give as I Receive — L 158

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

“We but undertake a journey that is over. Yet it seems to have a future still unknown to us.” (3:6)

Jesus finally explains why it is that our salvation is guaranteed. It has already happened. We are at the end of time, watching and reviewing what has gone before. We are fully awake, enlightened. We are the Christ, the Buddha, and every other enlightened being that has ever lived or will ever live. We are in God as we always have been. We are not living this dream story. We are watching it.

Fear, Doubt and Trust, Forgetting Then Remembering

by Maura Williams

I’m a minister in training through Pathways of Light. Rev. John Vise is my facilitator, which means he is walking with me through the course curriculum. It has been an awesome journey for me. Since February, we have been meeting almost every week to do this work.  Now, I’m going to back up a week and tell you I had a dream that was very meaningful to me. I had a similar dream right after I started my ministerial training and I felt it was given to me to show me I was on the right track.

I started out doing this work because I realized I had told God “no” pretty much my whole life. I believed in God, but I always put conditions on Him. I was always afraid to completely give myself to Him. This was my way of saying, “Yes! I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” And this dream felt like a continuation of my saying, “Yes.”

A Chicken Body or a Human Body, It’s All the Same Oneness!

by Rev. Andrea Sassa Archuleta, O.M.C.

Lesson 94
I am as God created me.

Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. (W-pI.94.1:1)
You are as God created you.

The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored. (W-pI.94.1:3-4)

If you have been following my writings in Miracles News, you know I live in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico. My husband and I tend a small farm which includes five beautiful chickens. In mid-May, one of our chickens suddenly became ill and within a day her body stopped functioning and died. We were quite sad, having grown very fond of all of the “girls” and their cackling. We were also very confused by her sudden death and concerned about the rest of the flock.

When Guilt Comes Up…

by Rev. Susan Comello, O.M.C.

For months, I tried to write the comprehensive article on guilt. I had a mountain and an ocean of guilt come up. When I tried to write about it, I kept feeling overwhelmed and could not finish it without resulting in jibberish and more guilt and confusion.

No wonder. I was trying to explain an insane thought system. I was using ego to try to make sense of things. Because I took on the premise that what I was experiencing was in any way possible or plausible, I kept wallowing in the quagmire of trying to make sense of what is not real.

Here is another attempt to write about it all. I was raised with guilt as my guide. I was told I would go to hell because I thought I was beautiful. So to be guilty was actually useful because it might keep me from going to hell when I die. (For much of my life, little did I know that guilt itself IS hell.)

Trusting My Own Experience

by Rev. Larry Glenz, O.M.C.

There are still some ACIM concepts to which I have resistance. Lesson 128 was my Workbook lesson of the day: The world I see holds nothing that I want. I would be embarrassed to tell any of my non-Course friends about this lesson. I feel like they would say, “Who would want to devote themselves to such a depressing concept?”

I have studied the Workbook many times over the last 20 years using different methods. This year I decided to do it with James Twyman and his Chorus of Miracles.
