Seventh Sunday of Easter

Message “The Miracle of Resurrection continues…” Rev. John Song
This Sunday is the last Sunday of Eastertide. As we come to the close of the Eastertide season, still carrying the joy and meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ celebrated on Easter, I will be sharing a resurrection story of my own. About a month ago, I had a powerful dream that resonated deeply in my body and stirred my soul for days afterward. I have been reflecting on it and continuing to work through its meaning. Since then, there has been a noticeable and undeniable shift within me. It feels as though something I have been waiting for all my life is finally beginning to happen.
“For me to be a saint means to be myself.”
~ Thomas Merton
“It’s never too late to come home to yourself.”
~ John Song
When you change yourself from within, your actions change
and you become an integral part of healing the world
through your own “everyday radius.”
~ Hoffman Institute
