In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz reflects on the thin veil between worlds during Halloween, All Saints, and All Souls, when we remember our beloved dead and give thanks for the saints who inspire us. Drawing on 1 John, she reminds us that we are God’s children now, even as what we will become remains unrevealed, and invites us to open our hearts with thanksgiving on this journey together.
