A Friendship with God

Of course, everyone is free to disagree.

Perhaps people tend to equate ‘equality’ with the modern equivalent of ‘equal to’ in all forms. That’s not quite my intentioned point. Same as I could say I don’t agree with gender equality as its currently portrayed, rather equivalence in respect and value.

There isn’t a lot of middle ground for a lot of people I find. They place themseves in a servitude or they push the boundaries over the top of their peers in a push for dominance.

By being in Gods image we have the potential to develop capability beyond other creation. Leading us to an equivalence in terms of interactive friendship. That born of our grasp of existence and knowledge of God, not because we are following some ludicrous idea of becoming Gods ourselves as with Mormonism.

No, not yet. I’ve only really found one I like, the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles. I think I’ll send them a letter this upcoming spring because I really want to visit them in the summer, the best time to visit, when their farm is in full force. If you have any more suggestions as far as communities, feel free to list em’. 🙂
 
Presenters have no advance way to know the level of spirituality, faith and prayer practices or inner disposition of their retreatants.
They keep things general until people seek Spiritual Direction.
 
We should have a relationship with the most troubled souls we meet, and treat them as if they are God.

Mathew 25
Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous* will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
 
Also, when you pray, do you just speak or do you give enough time for a response?
