A Prayer for Peace (2) (We are Praying Together with our
National Cathedral and the world.
An important dimension of peacemaking is prayer—prayer for enemies, adversaries, opponents, or whomever we fear, find difficult, or wish would vanish form our lives. –Jim Forest
God of those we love, God of those we struggle to find lovable:
Jesus instructs us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us; but it is difficult to pray for those who irritate us, challenge us, hold diametrically opposite world views from us. It is even harder to pray for those who have wounded us or harmed the ones we love. So today we offer this prayer for those for whom we find it difficult to pray: May the peace of the Lord be with you. And may your peace be with us as well. Amen.

Becoming Beloved Community--What is it? Practicing the Way of Love 
The third quadrant of the labyrinth is about our Baptismal vow to “ Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself.” This vow encourages us to incorporate spiritual practices into our lives to grow as healers, reconcilers, and justice-makers.
There are several things we can do to grow in this special way.
- We can engage in learning experiences such as Sacred Ground Dialogue Circles, book groups and pilgrimages.Sacred Ground is available to members of St. Patrick’s.
- We can participate in training to dismantle racism and grow as a beloved community.
- We can incorporate racial healing, reconciliation, justice and repentance in worship.The Episcopal Church provides worship resources for use at the parish level.
Next week we will explore the fourth quadrant of the labyrinth, Repairing the Breach in Institutions and Society.

Dear All,
Thank you to Carolyn W, Kathleen (new volunteer!) Brad/Barbara,
Beth, Kerin and driver, Renee (Jesus was sick!) 39 families,
which totals 118 people, received food! Diane Melder and I
brought candy. That brought a lot of smiles, and there's enough
to pass out again in November!
Karin, as greeter and registrar, heard many tell of the challenges
they are experiencing. Whereas many of us understand loss and
stress, I don't know of any of us who are also experiencing
hunger. It's amazing that those we see on first and third
Tuesdays are doing as well as they are. Praise God.
Eleanor

We Salute our Firefighters
A message from Sonoma County United In Kindness
As a community, we all need to send a message of gratitude to the fire fighters who heroically battled the raging heat, fire and wind to save lives and homes, and protect our communities during the recent Glass and Shady wildfires.
The intensity of the fire and the magnitude of devastation became apparent as the smoke and air-borne ash clouds lifted. A short drive up Los Alamos Road, Channel Drive, the Skyhawk neighborhood, or Highway 12 dramatizes how close the fire came to destroying many more homes in east Santa Rosa. The same is true for Napa, St. Helena and Calistoga.
Our Firefighters' judgment and determination are apparent from the open fields, vegetation and fences which burned, while houses were saved. They worked long hours while exhausted, battling flames and extinguishing hot spots. It's not easy to stand up to raging flame, heat, smoke and unknown additional dangers, in steep, rugged terrain, and to win. It takes special character and determination to risk your own life to save others.
A big shout out to every one who directed the work and served on the frontlines, including prisoner firefighters who stepped forward with exemplary courage and character — and to our police departments for their contributions, all under incredibly stressful conditions.
This is the time to show acts of kindness towards those who are impacted in our community. We need to seek out those who may need help and render ultimate acts of altruism. This is the time to exhibit once more that Sonoma County is United in Kindness.
If you are looking for a way to help, here are links to groups providing needed local assistance in response to the wildfires and the Covid-19 pandemic:
• Undocufund (https://undocufund.org/)
Provides COVID-19 and Wildfire relief to Sonoma County immigrant
workers and families.
• Direct Relief (https://www.directrelief.org/)
Funds medical sites in communities hit by disaster, including
a targeted program for northern California Wildfire recovery.
Sonoma County United In Kindness is a project of the Interfaith Council of Sonoma County. So far over 1500 individuals have signed the Declaration along with endorsements by 40 different local congregations and community groups. We commit to bring all people together, build enduring community bonds, and collectively oppose any acts of violence or hatred in beautiful Sonoma County.

Join the Cathedral for an evening of soothing music for troubled times.
The Canzonetta Duo – soprano Elissa Edwards and Richard Kolb on the archlute and theorbo – invite you to explore the works of Barbara Strozzi and Francesca, two of the most remarkable female composers of the 17th century.
It’s a chance to step away from the strain of daily life and immerse yourself in another time when two women shattered the musical norms and expectations of their generation. Each ticket includes a backstage pass to a community conversation with the artists after the show.
Tickets are available on a pay-as-you-can basis.
