In the midst of uncertainty, I pray God’s peace will
settle in your soul allowing you to sing, "It is well, it is well, with my
soul."
All Shall Be Well
May 6, 2020
Last week Richard Rohr’s daily meditations from Center for Action and Contemplation focused on Liminal Space – being caught between two worlds – one that we knew and one that is to come. He says, “This can be an inner movement or an outer situation that draws us to think and act in new ways.” Our current worldly situation has provided us (like it or not) with this liminal space.
MPB had the largest team at 80 walkers for the ALS Walk on 10/20/19.

We are in between worlds; a way of living that we knew and were comfortable with and we are waiting for a new way of being in the world that will likely look much different. This time is filled with loss and uncertainty, but it can also be a time of grace.
As we hold our collective and personal losses, our anxiety, our loneliness, our uncertainties, can we also seek in this grace-filled time a space to hold all that is good around us?
As we continue to live in this time between the world we knew and the world that is before us, please know that all of us on staff at MPB are here to support you in any way we can. If there is any way that I or someone from the MPB staff can support you, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can be reached at cmaschka@mpbdenver.org.
God’s Blessings of Peace and Hope,

Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich
As I was preparing this reflection, I looked up this quote to learn more about its origin. Did you know that in Julian’s book, Revelations of Divine Love, this quote is first attributed to God?! God is reassuring Julian that all will be well, and for 13 chapters, Julian argues with God. She asks “How could all things be well when we take into account all this suffering and pain?”
God responds by assuring Julian “that God will, in the mysterious action of divine love and power and wisdom, make all things well.” This gives such reassurance in any difficult time.
