Send us a textGod doesn't take people to heaven or assign lifespans. Death is natural. Christian hope lies in reunion, memory, and the soul's journey into God's embrace. Death is not God's punishment but part of being human. Our souls, carried by memory and love, continue. Christian faith reminds us: goodbyes are never final.

Send us a textWe often blame God for human choices. Miracles happen when we act with love, justice, and compassion. We are called to be God's hands in the world. God invites us to participate in miracles—not to wait for magic. Each act of justice, care, and responsibility for creation is a living miracle in our world.

Send us a textGod's will is about being loving, hopeful, and faithful—not a rigid blueprint. We co-create our vocation with God in freedom, not fear or compulsion. Discerning God's will means living the fruits of the Spirit in daily life. God invites us into a relationship that values love over rigid direction or fear-driven obedience.

Send us a textNatural disasters are not God's punishment. Prayer should transform us and the world, not manipulate a divine force. We don't worship Zeus—we worship Jesus Christ. We often misunderstand prayer and project our fears onto God. True Christian prayer invites us to change ourselves and reflect God's love and justice in a broken world.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 4/4, Fourth Morning Session - Hayama -Japan - Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this last morning talk at the Japanese Hayama 4-day retreat, David teaches that God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds, suggesting that our minds are like a dream, watching the world through an ego filter. So we start by receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but it has to come through an ego filter. And the guidance, therefore, seems to involve persons and appears to be interpersonal. But the miracle leaves your mind with a feeling of closeness and connection. Jesus says, "You need to do nothing," asking the mind to remain aware that it is a dream. What the body seems to do or not to do is ultimately not the lesson. But when you follow guidance, it can seem like the Spirit is speaking through you and smiling through you and use you as a puppet. But this is just a symbol that the mind is coming into alignment with the light of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate lesson is to align the mind with the Holy Spirit's light, recognizing itself as a single mind.Enjoy David's last morning session talking to Japanese students. To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 23, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

Send us a textSuffering may feel meaningless, but grace can transform it. God doesn't will pain, but responds with life, hope, and purpose—just as Easter followed Good Friday. Tragedy often breaks us open to grace. God's love doesn't prevent suffering but offers us the strength to find meaning, healing, and even joy in its aftermath.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 3 /4, Third Morning Session - Hayama -Japan. David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.The practice of A Course in Miracles teaches us to overlook error. Perceiving error stems from the ego, while the Holy Spirit remembers God's love and only sees the good. To adopt this perspective, we must release comparisons, as the ego seeks to judge and validate. Parents often try to instill self-esteem, but Jesus reminds us that God establishes our worth, not our actions or opinions. Thus, we practice letting go of our self-concept and image. We often chase talents or possessions, but Jesus guides us to abandon these pursuits to rediscover our true self, as created by God. The body may develop skills, yet those skills lack inherent value made by the ego. The critical question becomes: what purpose do I assign to these skills?Enjoy David's third morning talking to Japanese students. To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 22, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

Send us a textFather Richard LeonardGod does not cause suffering. Rather, Jesus reveals a loving God who brings healing and light, not punishment. Suffering is not God's divine retribution. Believing in a compassionate God challenges harmful theology. In suffering, we are invited to reject images of a vengeful deity and trust in Christ's healing, non-violent presence.

Send us a textDeacon Robert KinghornGordie's story is one of pain, redemption, and the deep longing for forgiveness. Despite a life marked by hardship, he found hope in community and the love of God. His struggle to forgive himself reminds us that we all need grace—both from God and ourselves. True freedom comes not just from being released from prison, but from being surrounded by love and embraced by mercy. His life teaches us that no one is beyond redemption.

Send us a textDeacon Robert Kinghorn.Jen's story is a testament to the power of hope and forgiveness. In her longing for a second chance, she reminds us that we all fall short and need God's mercy. Sometimes, we struggle to forgive ourselves even after God has already forgiven us. Yet, in moments of kindness and connection, hope is rekindled. As Pope Francis said, “No one learns to hope alone.” Perhaps the greatest gift we can give others is the assurance that they are not alone.

Send us a textDeacon Robert KinghornJean's story is one of brokenness, love, and redemption. Despite years of addiction and shame, her daughter never gave up on her. Love has the power to heal, even in the darkest places. Like the father in the parable of the prodigal son, Vera waited, hoped, and searched. Through her persistence, Jean slowly found her way back—not just to sobriety but also to faith. This reminds us that no one is beyond God's love and mercy.

Send us a textDeacon Robert KinghornHope is often found in the simple yet powerful presence of another. The young woman's journey from despair to healing reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is someone waiting for us—both a friend and Christ himself. Walking alongside those who suffer, without judgment or solutions, but with love and faith, can be the difference between despair and transformation. We, too, are called to be that hope for others.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 2 /4 Second Morning Session - Hayama -Japan Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this second morning session at the Hayama 4-day retreat, David explores the perceptual problem, which pertains to the belief that the subject and the object are different. That the observer is different from the observed. And that the personality self is different from the world that surrounds it. So when we see an issue in the world, it really is just... a split in the mind. This belief can result in significant problems such as conflict, climate change, and hunger, all of which can be traced back to the division within the mind. Jesus' A Course in Miracles addresses this challenge by teaching two important workbook lessons: Lesson 79, "Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved," and Lesson 80, "Let me recognize my problems have been solved." By examining the projected world, we often fail to identify the core problem because it manifests in many forms. You may resolve a few problems today, only to encounter more tomorrow. Therefore, the key lies in our perspective, which stems from our interpretation.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 21, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

Send us a textDeacon Robert KinghornAnn's journey from the streets to healing is a testament to the transforming power of God's grace. Her struggles did not define her; rather, they shaped her into someone who now helps others. Like the disciples at the Transfiguration, she has seen Christ's glory, even in her darkest moments. Her story reminds us that faith does not erase our past but gives us the strength to move forward, trusting in God's love and redemption.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 1 /4 Opening Morning Session - Hayama -Japan (Japanese translation).David Hoffmeister begins the Hayama 4-Day Japan Retreat by exploring the concept of undoing the self-concept—a conditioned expectation that obstructs our understanding of the world. He explains that the ego arises from the mind's pursuit of self-improvement, crafting illusory goals that keep the mind preoccupied and detached from its boundless nature.The ego's game is endless, as it neither begins nor concludes. The purpose of our practice, Hoffmeister suggests, is to abandon the pursuit of temporal goals and relinquish the false identity—the mask of the ego. In doing so, we experience the mind's all-encompassing nature, recognizing that the world, society, and everything once perceived as external are, in truth, within the mind. As the mind reaches a state of rest, the external world reflects this peace, becoming more harmonious. According to Hoffmeister, this practice is pivotal for attaining a profound understanding of the world and the true self.Listen to Davids's profound talk, the first of 4 days of retreat sessions.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 20, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

Send us a textDEACON ROBERT KINGHORNTrue faith is not lived in comfort but in the willingness to stand for what is right, even when it costs us. The principal's question—"Was there nothing worth fighting for?"—challenges us to examine our own lives. Do we risk wounds for justice and love, or do we seek safety? Jesus entered into our loneliness to offer us connection. We are called to do the same for others, walking beside them with love and compassion.

Send us a textEPILOGUE: THE NEW JERUSALEMJohn's visions invite us to never lose our focus upon God, of the divine image within, the pearl of great price, the treasure hidden in a field; the morning star that is already rising in our hearts: for nothing other than God is capable of filling that vast expanse of the human heart created to know, to love and to worship God in eternity along with the angels.

Send us a textTALK 7: THE FOURTH FACE: THE FAITHFUL TRANSFORMED BY GOD'S GRACESt. John [the evangelist] shows us how the story of the arrival of a new heaven and a new earth is not complete without a vision of paradise regained for the human person, created in the image and likeness of our God, who is in the process of “making all things new.”   TALK 8: THE PROMISES TO THE VICTORSIt is through our faithfulness to the values of the Gospel and to the life of holiness that we can be transformed into a spiritual temple; and that through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit the light of Christ Himself will shine through us into the darkness of this passing world.   

Send us a textTALK 6: THE DIVINE WARRIOR: THE RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSENo matter what difficulties we may be facing – whether personally or collectively – John's visions remind us of the great importance of prayer amid the great spiritual struggle that will see the arrival of a new heaven and a new earth.

Send us a textTALK 5: THE VISIONS OF THE LAMB OF GODJohn now draws our focus from the mystery of the Christ who walks beside us on our journey through this world and raises our sights upward into heaven. In this new revelation, we are led to contemplate Jesus, the all-powerful Lord and King of the universe who reigns in Heaven.

Send us a textTALK 3: THE FACES OF JESUS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONJohn invites us to step into God's world and to be transformed in the process. For, yes, John's visions reveal a world, God's world, but at the same time, they also create a world. For in what John describes through the open door into heaven, not only do we hear the songs of the angels, but we are invited to add our own voices to the growing chorus of divine praises of the God who “makes all things new.”  TALK 4: JESUS WALKS AMONG THE SEVEN CHURCHESThe angelic Jesus, in essence, is saying: give courageous witness to the truth of the Gospel before a disbelieving world that is hostile to Christ's message. Do not be afraid to share in the mystery of the Cross, and you will acquire a share in what I Am.

Send us a textMsgr. A. Robert NuscaTalk 1: This reflection emphasizes the message of hope in Revelation. John, exiled to Patmos for his faith, receives visions that unveil divine truths, urging Christians to worship God alone and stand firm against adversity. The Book of Revelation reassures believers that God controls the world's destiny, promising triumph over evil and a renewed creation through Christ.Talk 2: In the Book of Revelation, we discover a portrait of Jesus Christ that is unique in the New Testament. Throughout, John shows us how Jesus remains present to the faithful on earth through the mystery of the Church, how He rules in heaven, and how He will return in glory and judgment at the end of time.
