A Felt Sense of Safety and Security | #1525

from Pilgrim Priest · host Fr. Joel Sember

Easter, 4th Sunday (C) Even from the very beginning, children need a felt sense of safety and security in order to thrive. Physically speaking, we live in a very secure country. And yet, we seem to be suffering from an epidemic of anxiety. Jesus offers a sense of safety and security that no one can take from us. Look how Paul and Barnabas feel safe even amidst persecution and riots. The Good Shepherd will lead them safely to eternal life. I want to take a little time to do an imaginative exercise. Pause the podcast and come back to it if you're driving or in the middle of something. First, start by picturing a favorite image of the Good Shepherd. Then, picture yourself as one of his little sheep. Share whatever worry, concern, or anxiety you are experiencing right now. Then ask Jesus, "Is there something that you want me to know?" Receive whatever it is he wants to give you: peace, a sense that he is with you, etc. Then spend a couple minutes in gratitude.

Micro Meditations Daishin McCabe These "micro meditations" are for anyone who is at a distance from a Buddhist meditation group, doesn't have a lot of time to practice, as well as for those who just need a reminder in their day to stay focused.

These encouraging words are between 1 and 4 minutes long. They are based in the experience of Soto Zen Buddhist priest and authentically transmitted teacher, Daishin McCabe.

I’m an Episcopal (Anglican) priest in recovery from alcoholism since 1972. I've spent my career in addiction treatment focused on 12-Step spirituality and exploring the pioneer history of AA. In discovering the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, my program underwent a life-changing transformation. As Bill Wilson said, “ something was lost from AA when we stopped emphasizing the morning meditation." My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the "Great Reality" within. -Fr. Bill W.
