This week, we invite you …
Every time we tell our story, it is new. There are elements we feel compelled to include, and others we feel ready to let go of or go deeper. Telling our story always includes releasing lesser stories and embracing new ways of understanding our journey.
Read MoreThe gospels tell the origin story of Jesus’ divine vocation. Along with the birth narrative and a few stories of his early life, the lineage of Jesus is given twice, tracing his human and divine heritage. All four gospels recount the story of Jesus’ baptism as a foundational experience in his calling. We have welcomed how “Being named” is a core aspect of vocare, and Jesus receives his mystically from a voice from heaven, “This is my son, the beloved, in whom I have delighted.”
This season of Lent echoes the 40 days in the desert Jesus spent following his baptism. These, and others, are significant events in the origin story of Jesus.
The gospel of John begins by adding another layer to the deeper origin of Jesus.
This week, Beth Biery shares about her origin story of divine vocation, while also inviting all of us into deeper inhabiting, abiding in Origin, and Being our stories as we are living them now.
Read MoreThis week, we invite you to tell your origin story of divine vocation. Or, in other words, the story of the ways you’ve been called in your life.
How has God summoned you to be and to move throughout your years?
How have you received the “true names” of your most essential being—the names of your soul?
What is the deeper spiritual story of your life?
Read MoreDuring this Lenten season, we’re inviting a journey into the divine story. The divine story is not something we read in a book, but one we live every day. It is not just about Jesus, but Christ living in us. It is about our true Origin and our Eternal Life coming into the here and now.
We are invited to release the lesser stories we tell about ourselves, letting go of the limited ways we see who we are.
How can we uncover and embrace more fully our true nature, our divine essence, who we truly are?
May we enter into stories that live not just in the past, but in the fullness of life still to come. Telling the stories of our divine vocation, living and expressing here and now.
Read MoreFrom the single self, we might now welcome more fully the divine vocation of our communal being. Drawing upon the communal well of being. Finding our well-being in the reality of divine communion, which too is the fundamental truth of who we truly are. Who we truly are.
Read MoreIn this series, we have been exploring our call to WeCreating, which is the invitation to step more fully into our participation in our divine nature—to be creators together of the future in loving evolution. This is also what we are calling the next phase of growth for ICN, moving from the Founding Stage to the WeCreating Stage.
The energy and capacity for this comes from our divine vitality, which is our essential life force enlivening us with the love that is the deep force of evolution. Our motivation and will then springs from a greater calling than our own desires, as we are filled with divine inspiration for sacred possibilities. Our divine vocation is then discerned, inhabited, and integrated more into our life as we better understand who we truly are and how that expresses and speaks from our deepest being.
Ways of discernment, integration, and inhabiting is our invitation of becoming this week.
Read MoreDo you know you have a Divine Vocation?
Yes, you. Every single one of us has it. It is the deepest calling of our lives.
Our hearing and understanding this deep, divine vocation is an ongoing process of discovery and discernment, which arises from the essence of who we truly are in our divine being, emerging more and more throughout our life.
“In taking up our divine agency, if we truly believe and experience ourselves as participants in the divine nature, then we will increasingly feel more and more compelled from our divine source to do what God does—create in love.”
