Changing Minds – Changing Lives

Greeting Super Light Spreaders,
A Reflection on the Passing of Pope Francis In the passing of Pope Francis, we are reminded of the eternal truth that all life is interconnected, and that the Divine expresses itself through every heart, every soul, and every being on this earth. Though Pope Francis has left his earthly body, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who have been touched by his message of peace, humility, and justice. In the Science of Mind, we understand that Life is eternal. There is no true end to life, only a continual unfolding into higher forms of expression. Just as a seed gives birth to a plant, and a plant to fruit, so too does the soul, once it leaves the physical form, return to its original source, expanding into greater awareness of its divine nature. Pope Francis lived his life in deep alignment with spiritual principles, emphasizing the importance of compassion for all, especially the poor and the marginalized. His life was a testament to the power of kindness, the importance of environmental stewardship, and the need for unity across all peoples. Whether through his tireless work advocating for the Earth, or his humble commitment to the teachings of love and forgiveness, Pope Francis has inspired millions to awaken to their own spiritual potential. As we reflect on his passing, we remember that no one is truly lost in the eyes of Spirit. For the Life that animated Pope Francis now returns to the vastness of the One Mind, where there is no separation, no beginning or end. There is only the eternal flow of Divine Love, ever-present and ever-active in all creation. Let us honor the memory of Pope Francis not through sorrow, but through gratitude for the wisdom he shared, the example he set, and the love he embodied. As we move forward, let us carry with us the torch of his message: to serve one another, to protect the Earth, and to stand for justice and peace. In this moment of transition, we affirm the truth that Spirit is all there is, and that we are all part of the One Divine Expression. We hold Pope Francis in our hearts, and we know that his life, his message, and his work continue to inspire the world. And so it is.
