We just had our first Order of Mercy Clean-up in Atlanta! Praise be to God for this service our Order of Mercy Sisters and Brothers are planning in our cities all over the country. It was so joyful to participate in this event spreading light and consciousness in such a direct way. Sister Olivia (our Order of Mercy Sister here in Atlanta,) found a stretch of sidewalk along Memorial Drive in the Kirkwood/Edgewood area, near the Center of Light, that was quite inundated with litter. It was striking to me as I was walking with my "Litter Gitter," (the long sticks with claws on the end) just how much there was. What are people thinking as they toss their scraps and rubbish from their vehicles? It is a behavior that wreaks of selfishness and entitlement. Instead of focusing on that I chose to focus on enjoying the gift of being able to love and bless the earth alongside my brothers and sisters. It was deeply satisfying to love our City/our Planet in this way. My heart is full of love and gratitude to be serving and loving in a community so dedicated to Peace and consciousness spreading light and love. Thank you Sister Olivia and all our community members and ministers here and around the country who participate in this work.
Peace and Blessings to you.
