<p>(66) The 6th Sunday of Easter. <strong>Our question:</strong> W<strong>hat has been a miracle in my life?  </strong></p><p>Laura shares some insights from her recent trip to Turkey - the &quot;second Holy Land.&quot; </p><p><br></p><p>We talk about charismatic leaders and our openness to religious ecstacy. We offer several quotes by Rumi and St. Julian of Norwich, and explore the tradition of the mystics<strong> -- </strong>intimacy with the divine. </p><p><br></p><p>Marci Madary offered this quote from MLK Jr. <br>&quot;All I&#39;m saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we&#39;re caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.&quot;<br>From excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr’s speech at Western Michigan University, 18 December 1963<br><a href="https://libguides.wmich.edu/mlkatwmu/speech">https://libguides.wmich.edu/mlkatwmu/speech</a></p><p><br></p><p>Rumi quote - “Take the famous utterance, &quot;I am God.&quot; Some people think this is a great pretension, but &quot;I am God&quot; is in fact a great humility. Those who say, instead, &quot;I am a servant of God&quot; believe that two exist, themselves and God. But those who say, &quot;I am God&quot; have become nothing and have cast themselves to the winds. They say, &quot;I am God&quot; meaning, &quot;I am not, God is all. There is no existence but God. I have lost all separation. I am nothing.&quot; In this the humility is greater.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050524.cfm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Sunday Readings</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thank you for listening</strong>!
