Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: What I live is very simple. It�s not very much. And I am afraid that by talking about it I will make it into something that it is not. What more is there to say in that I work with cows! Our Farm Community in Guelph Ontario is inspired by L�Arche. We started a small project with men coming out of prison.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Talk #9: Today we celebrate reconciliation with Jesus and with one another. I will share how we will live this together. Talk#10: The life of God is in each of us for he is at the heart of our being. The more we enter into that truth of who we are, the more we come to the truth of who our brothers and sisters are too.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Talk #7: Our theme is healing and forgiveness. Today is the day to listen to our hearts. And to our need for inner healing and our need to be forgiven or to forgive, which is the work of the Holy Spirit. Talk#8: We often deny or run from the truth of our own being. Jesus comes to teach us the truth and beauty of being human. Yes, he comes to reveal to us the unconditional love of God for us as we are, here and now. But he also comes to reveal to us ourselves.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Talk #3: We long to meet Jesus. But there is a fear in us about deeper relationship. Fear of being hurt or what the other might ask of me. Yet there is a longing and need we have for communion with Jesus. There is a tension between what we long for, but also fear. Talk #4: The heart of Jesus is a welcoming heart, which listens for the cry of the poor. Jesus is eager to welcome us as we are, as we come. We need to trust this welcome and to let go of our false images of God as judge.
