Spiritual Practices that Move Us Forward

Nov 18

Frances’ Step Three shows us a woman moving forward, bravely blazing her spiritual journey. Reflect on how you move forward in faith.

Writing was essential to Frances’ healing. How has writing shaped your life? What stories might you write down and share with a trusted friend?
What spiritual practices outside the church have been significant to you?
Consider where, when, and from whom you hear God described as a Mother. What comes to mind when you hear maternal images of the divine? How does it feel different from paternal images?
Reflect on your own mother. What character traits or actions would you connect with a maternal image of God? In what ways would you distinguish Mother God from your mother?
