We have invited representatives of several faith traditions in New Mexico to offer a prayer and/or reflection to mark the winter solstice. The event is inspired by a piece contained in Praying With the Earth by John Phillip Newell.
“At NM IPL we hold with everyone else the many pains and tears of this year from COVID to the challenging transformation invitations to address racism, economic inequity, divisions in our country, families and beyond and the fires, floods, droughts, and enormous storms multiplied by climate chaos.
We also know people are feeling sad, stressed, weary, and maybe hopeful as we all work for the Common Good in this mysterious moment.”
We will post a video with the collection of prayers and reflections on Friday, Dec. 18. We will follow this with a Zoom with an in-person-zoom community sharing on December 21, 5:30-6:10. (To participate, send a note to carlos@nm-ipl.org)
