Part of the joy of our “online” retreat is that we are sharing the spiritual path as an extended community seeking the higher path, walking together even though we are separated by space and time. In this short video, one of my personal heroes Oblate Katleen Norris speaks about the importance of spiritual communities and what “community” means for us in our modern and very secular world.

Our practice today is to contemplate this concept of a spiritual community and to do one thing that transforms how we relate to our own communities – do we pray for one another? Do we inspire each other? Do we share our trials and triumphs together? Please share the fruits of your contemplation in the comment thread below, and enjoy!
