Spirituality Network
The world faces multiple challenges, especially an environmental crisis which poses a significant long-term threat. We believe in the ability to grow our spiritual consciousness, deeply grounded in communion with nature and nurtured through contemplative prayer.
Recognizing that Spirituality is unique for each individual we invite members to listen and learn from others approaches, at all times respecting our differences as well as celebrating our similarities.
Our integrity and courage to act in the world depends on how connected and reconnected we are with the cosmos, with God, with one another, and with our inner strength. We aim to encourage one another by sharing our insights and experiences across generations and
cultures.
Actions
The Spirituality Network shares email posts and online workshop formats for members and others working toward a more shared contemplative life-style that can sustain our actions. Members participate in an email forum, sharing ideas, insights and resources. Recent encyclicals of Pope Francis, Laudato Si and Fratelli Tutti, inspire contemplation, internalization and, at the same time, engagement with the global crises and the pains of the world.
Some Spirituality Network members commit to meditate on the International Grail Vision Statement as a means to bring a contemplative spirit to our transformative work throughout the world. We invite those who share our vision to join us in reading the following statement daily followed by five minutes of silence.
We are an international movement and community of women of different cultures, social backgrounds, and generations.
We trust in the Spirit of God, Mystery and Source of Life.
We are called to create a sustainable world, transforming our planet into a place of peace and justice.
We acknowledge that we are a part of the whole of creation, striving to live simply and to nurture a culture of care for all the earth.
We are determined to look for signs of hope in a complex world.
We are strengthened by the compassionate energy and creative action of women.
