Appalachian Faith And Ecology Center, Inc. The Heart of Faith in the Oldest Mountains of Earth & inspired by "This Land is Home to Me, At Home in the Web of Life, & The Telling Takes Us Home"

We connect the words and works of communities of faith who seek to understand the particular uniqueness of the Central Appalachian cultural and its biological diversity. The inspiration for this work is twofold: First that expressed in the Appalachian Pastorals: “This Land is Home to Me,” and “At Home in the Web of Life.” These documents serve as a lens through which we identify the projects we u

ndertake. Second: that of the work of the New Cosmology, particularly of the tradition of Thomas Berry, as it specifically applies to Central Appalachia [Southwest Virginia].

Francis reminds us that synodality is not just a process but a call to live out our faith more deeply. It’s about building a Church where every charism, vocation, and ministry comes together in harmony. To read more 🔗 https://bit.ly/4gnEe4D

«Ma mère et mes frères sont ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu, et qui la mettent en pratique.» Le Christ en ce jour nous invite à aller plus loin dans l’écoute et la méditation de la parole de Dieu. Chaque disciple est appelé à laisser le message de la Bonne Nouvelle habiter tout son être en intégralité et le transformer pleinement. Ainsi, nous pourrons aller au-delà des considérations humaines, raciales, ethniques, sociologiques, et ouvrir notre cœur à cet amour universel, qui est la famille de Jésus. J’ai été frappée par un commentaire de ce texte qui est très pertinent, lorsque l’auteur nous interpelle sur l’instinct de possession qui guette tout le monde aujourd’hui. Je comptais le nombre de fois par jour que j’utilise ce pronom: mon… ma… au détriment de l’ouverture à un amour plus inclusif, dans une fraternité plus grande. Celle qui rend heureux(se). Prions les un(e)s pour les autres afin d’accueillir le message de l’évangile et d’en vivre à la manière du Christ lui-même. Comme la Bienheureuse Émilie Tavernier-Gamelin, laissons jaillir dans notre cœur une profonde compassion pour les pauvres de Yahwe au contact de la Parole de Dieu et dans la providence divine disons Jésus dans la justice et la droiture. Marie, apprends-moi la véritable bienveillance et que ton Fils Jésus me l’obtienne de son père. Avec Christine Orban écoutons cette douceur de l’âme: «La compréhension est le plus grand cadeau qu’un être humain puisse faire à un autre». Fructueuse méditation en Lc 8,19-21.

“May this Synod be a true season of the Spirit. For we need the Spirit, the ever-new breath of God, who sets us free from every form of self-absorption, revives what is moribund, loosens shackles and spreads joy.” (Pope Francis)

This is the Church we are called to dream: a Church that is the servant of all, the
servant of the least. A Church that welcomes, serves, loves. A Church with open doors that is a haven of mercy.” Pope Francis
Let us pray for the Synod.
