This reflection is updated every Sunday. Visit this page often for new reflections! Week of June 21-27 Quiet! Be Still! Life can be so busy sometimes. We can be wrapped up in the end of a school year, the beginning of summer plans, crazy projects at work, programs that the kids want to get involved in... life's storms may seem like they can overtake us... We learn much from living in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina was a vicious storm almost 4 years ago. Volunteers continue to visit and serve our neighbors. They see each the terrible consequences of decisions that benefit a few, conditions that help some. Today's Gospel reminds us that although a storm may come, Christ is with us and reminds us to be Quiet! Be still! That is the precise reminder we are to one another with another...Contemplatives in Action's main purpose is to remind others to be quiet and be still...because we know that God will calm the storm... sometimes the storm is beyond our control, sometimes the storm is of our imagination or doing... either way... quiet and be still. We invite you to take a moment to hear God saying to you: Quiet! Be still! Perhaps take 5-15 minutes each day this week and repeat the phrase: Quiet! Be still! Then open your heart to see what God wants to make new in you. |

A Sign of Relief
 Geoffrey is pictured here with Anna Villanueva… these two CIA Agents are doing their part in spreading the joy and the relief of Café Campesino coffee! We have partnered with Café Campesino to offer a blend of coffee that is Fair Trade, Organic, and Shade Grown. Together with Catholic Relief Services we are proud to offer education on the importance of offering just wages for the coffee we consume. By purchasing a pound of coffee, you are supporting fair practices, fair working conditions, and just wages AND offering your support to our ministry in New Orleans.  Purchase Coffee Here A Sign of Relief for coffee growers in countries in Central America… A Sign of Relief for coffee roasters in Georgia … A Sign of Relief for New Orleans as we rebuild more thoughtfully... A Sign of Relief as you begin your day knowing your coffee is grown, traded, roasted justly… |
