2 Session 1 Additional resources are on site. Opening Evening & Chapter 1 Beginnings

9 To introduce the ideas of Mary Jo Leddy in “Radical Gratitude”, who is coming to St. David’s as the theme speaker on Grace for the Annual Stewardship Dinner. To review our earlier study on her “The Other Face of God” in preparation for her coming to the St. David’s Workshop on Immigration next Mar 1-3 Aims of Study

9 “Each one of us has at least one significant word to say with our lives.... It is not easy to identify the word.” “In spite of ourselves and sometimes because of us, there is a beckoning and a hearkening” “... we are found and lost and found again...” “... I am summoned to gratitude...” “... [realizing] that I am already grateful and that I am not yet grateful.” “What is the meaning of life? Wherein lies my happiness?” Ch 1. Beginnings

9 “... Ingratitude is ingrained in our economic system... for more than 200 years.” This is not a book about spirituality, but an invitation to ponder gratitude. “This book is about ordinary grace... about authentic liberation in a culture... [that is] chronically dissatisfied...” “Authentic spirituality, genuine politics, and good economics arise from a spirit of radical gratitude.” Ch 1. Beginnings

9 “Culture is like the air we breathe and like fish in the water, we remain largely unconscious of the context in which we live and move and have our being.” “I have come to see our many faiths as so many great rivers, which are all flowing toward the same vast ocean of the mystery of God.” We are from God, with God and meant to be for God. Ch 1. Beginnings

9 TED - Gratitude for Creation by Louie Schwartzberg 10 minutes a delightful presentation of time lapse photography of flowers and nature and an introspection on being grateful by a child and an old man. Video

10 Break Discussion Questions: 1. In what ways have we like Mary Jo experienced new beginnings? 2. She invites us to explore gratitude. What sorts of gratefulness might we better notice in our lives? Next Week: Ch 2. Perpetual Dissatisfaction.
