Dear St. Anthony Bridges to Home Friend:
“The seed of God is in us…and is unceasingly inclined toward God. It is our task to cultivate this seed and give it nourishment so that the divine image in us can grow and thrive and prosper so that the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. This is what the spiritual journey is all about.” Meister Eckart, spiritual preacher
We are born with a capacity to be transformed and reflect God's nature, and this seed is the source of our spiritual growth and development. The seed is said to be the imperishable force that empowers individuals to advance toward this transformation. The Holy Spirit is the indwelling presence of God within us that empowers believers to live according to God's will. We nurture God's teachings and promises in our hearts, transforming us to reflect God’s character.
God presents us with innumerable ways to nurture this seed within us. His two greatest commandments, love God and love your neighbor, point to a lifetime of opportunities to grow, develop, and thrive. St. Anthony Bridges to Home opens many doors leading toward this fruit of transformation toward loving God and your neighbor.
In the past 2 months we have successfully completed 13 moves. Yes we have been very busy. Please enjoy the pictures from some of these moves.
Being a part of our donor base is an offer almost everyone can accept. We have small donations and very large donations and everything in between, and are humbly grateful to everyone who keeps our work flowing. Grateful thanks go to Kathy & Bob, Olga & Gary, Jenny, Mary D, Aimee, Christine F., Bill & Carol, Gloria, Barbara & Dan, Pat K., Pam, Max & Marilyn, Cari, Robin, Barbara M., Theresa L., Steven F., Donna K., Upland Foothill Kiwanis, and Joyce L. The seed of generosity grows with each of your donations and its ultimate impact will only be known in Heaven.
Almighty God, You hold all things together, from the smallest seed to the largest tree, from the depths of the oceans to the great expanse of the universe. Thank you for the beauty around us and for the abundant beauty within us. Thank you, Father. We lift your name on high and forever sing your praises. Amen.
