Episode 11 - Offering

As we continue retracing the first days of our pilgrimage from Rome to Jerusalem on this WALKING FOR PEACE PODDCAST, another quiet lesson begins to emerge. Walking through the hills of Umbria, welcomed by Franciscan communities and eventually arriving in Assisi, I found myself confronting fears I didn't yet recognize: the fear of speaking openly about God and my spiritual beliefs, the desire to control how our message would be received, the need to protect an identity I had carefully built, and the subtle belief that peace somehow depended on my saying and doing all the right things. Alberto would similarly confront the fear of speaking openly and with confidence about his spirituality with those holding traditional views, and trusting in the True Voice that was speaking through him. We look back on everything through the gentle lens of A Course in Miracles, and recognize that: We are not asked to create the message. We are asked to receive it. And having received it, to offer it. Perhaps our greatest offering is not our words, our ideas, or even our pilgrimage. Perhaps it is our willingness to become available. May this episode be an invitation to pause, to listen beyond appearances, and to ask with quiet sincerity: What am I truly being asked to offer today? With love, Mony and Alberto * * * P.S.
