Dear colleagues and friends Please read the message below even if it may look too long. To me it carries hope Polish time is GMT(plus 1) Thanks for your fellowship Ann ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: The Meditatio Centre <meditatio@wccm.org> Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2022 at 12:52 Subject: Online meditation with the Ukraine Community Update To: <ann.h.avery@gmail.com> Meditate with Ukraine View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/wccm/online-meditation-with-the-ukraine-community-393881?e=73dff1c802> Meditate with Ukraine Dear Friends, To all who were not able to connect to the meeting with the Ukraine Community, we apologise. It was necessary to change the zoom link as the original link had been attacked by hackers. We have received many messages from communities who tried to join and then meditated at the same time along with us; we were all together in the silence. Miraculously the few who were able to join represented many parts of the world: Europe, UK, Ireland, USA, Australia, New Zealand and others. Maria spoke about the treasure hidden in the field and forgiving those who sin against us because "they know not what they do". It was very moving. While Maria spoke, Albert was out helping to deliver medical supplies and food to those in need. After meditation we expressed our love and support on behalf of all. As one message said, "no attack by hackers can stop us" and as Maria said: "nothing can stop the light that shines in the darkness". Dear Maria and Albert: We want you to know that many people from many communities were part of our prayer. You, and all Ukraine people continue to be held in an embrace of love that stretches right around the world. The link for the meeting to be hosted by the Polish community is correct, and we hope it will not be hacked. We will send the link for the WCCM event on 26 March in the days before the event. ___________________________________ *​POLAND COMMUNITY MEDITATION * Poland invites all meditators *every Sunday at 8pm Polish Time* on "Meditation for Peace" (short reading and meditation) . We would like to continue to meet regularly, as long as the war in Ukraine continues and the world is so in need of hope, love, harmony. We believe that the source of true peace in our hearts and peace between people is God Himself. In common prayer, in silence, we will open our hearts to His action and His voice. We will remain connected to Ukraine, a place of suffering, violence, pain, injustice and death. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled or afraid!"
