Sophia in Trinity is beginning something new. On the second Saturday of each month, members of our community will offer the homily, which is always responded to by the entire community. On the 4th Saturday of each month, Victoria will offer the "shared homily." We hope that this will give everyone in the community an opportunity to creatively share their thoughts and visions.
Judy Liteky offered and insightful homily on August 8. She chose the theme "Earth Wisdom" from the work of Thomas Berry, and combined this with reflections from her recent trip to Paraguay. Here are a few of the key ideas that she used in her homily:
I am part of Sacred time and space
I am part of a Sacred Universe.
Thomas Berry in “The Dream of the Earth” and “The Great Work”.....
We are supported by a power, energy, a dynamism.
Being an activist with consciousness:
Women’s experience and consciousness: 1965 on with the Immaculate Heart order
Global personhood: traveling internationally from 1960 on to Europe, Asia, the Americas
Speaking and working for human rights: 1970’s on in anti-nuclear movement, Sanctuary, SOA Watch
Paraguay and Peru: sacred time and space
Zooming in to commune with the sky, land, water
Zooming out to experience a unity in the diversity
Returning to San Francisco renewed with the sense that I/we are supported by a power, energy, a dynamism and invoking this wisdom to create our future.
Evelie Posch took this theme and wove songs of Mother Earth throughout the liturgy.
As always her insights grounded and inspired our prayers.
Following the liturgy, Judy showed slides from her journey.
