Episode 10, We Will Remember Them
11/11/20 • 7 min
November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada, or Armistice Day in Great Britain and other parts of the world. It’s Veteran’s Day in the United States. This Day marks the occasion when WWI officially ended, at the 11th hour on the 11th Day of the 11th month in 1918. Though pinned to the end of conflict of WWI, it is of course a time of remembering and honoring all our veterans, in particular, those who lost their lives in action. There are clear parallels between the observances of Remembrance Day and the work of grief recovery. For Brian there is a personal connection, as his father served in WWII. For all of us there is the important practice of acknowledging significant loss, remembering those who died and taking appropriate steps to incorporate the lessons from both loss and remembering into our present lives.

Questions of Faith Episode 2, Michael Rose, About God's Love Part 1
Where is God in my pain? My interview with Michael Rose settles firmly on the assertion that God’s fundamental approach to us is of love. How that love is at work and God's exact intentions are not always what we might expect or hope for, but his love is certain.
We take up the 5 most common questions of Faith as presented by Chaplain John Moerman in our first episode, and explore how the God of love works and cares for us even, or perhaps especially, in our darkest and most difficult times. This is part 1 of Brian’s interview with Michael. Part 2 will publish on Nov. 21, 2020.

Questions of Faith, Episode 3, About God's Love Part 2
Finding the Love of God, or more to the point, finding the God of love in our most painful and difficult times can be very challenging. Prayers may appear to go unheard and unanswered. Life regrets and hurts can surface, creating an urge for resolution. Forgiveness, though sought after, can be both hard to extend and to receive.
This is part 2 of Brian's interview with spiritual director, Michael Rose. Michael states as his "one message," that God's intentions toward us and his approach to us is always one of love. Relationship with the God of Love is the invitation extended to us. Times of deep loss and sorrow create a unique opportunity to discover the divine presence and care.
Michael suggests we may need to consider a new, or revised image of God's nature and character. Mike's "something to do" challenge invites us to engage in simple, doable acts of love.
