What would it mean to you to welcome more liberation and transformation into your life? After watching this video, we invite you to sit with this question, perhaps even using it as a journal prompt.

“Jesus is saying poetically, you all are, in essence, the ocean. One made by and of love.”
—Carmen Acevedo Butcher
“We human beings are forgetful. We need reminders of important things — including the gospel that feeds the soul,” offers Carmen. Feeding our soul helps us connect to the timeless and universal mystery of Divine love.
Join us in discovering what it means to be both of the flesh of humanity and of the mystery of the world.
“May we remember, compassion helps preserve each other’s divine belonging.”
—Carmen Acevedo Butcher
