A Powerful Success Secret!

In honour of Valentine's Day, Rev. Patrick explores the power of a successful covenant, whether it be with another person or with ourselves. When we partner with someone, we often share his/her burdens and pain. We can either run from the pain or become a healer; to stand in the fire with someone is a powerful thing, but you must be complete in who you are. To be truly compassionate, you must not get caught in another's pain, but face the pain with love---even Sufi love, exquisite and radiant. The Dynamic Laws of Prayer by Catherine Ponder discusses things we can focus on for more spiritual growth in our lives. Bill Gole says, "It is easier to act yourself into good thinking than to think yourself into good acting." At the end of his talk, Reverend Patrick leads us in a vow to love ourselves.
