¿Podrían las diversas religiones celebrar la sacralidad en la arquitectura y liturgias de edificios emblemáticos sin destruir la naturaleza? Quizás esta sea una manera creativa en la que deberíamos hablar y enseñar sobre nuestra fe, sostiene en su columna La Hna. Magda Bennasar, de las Hermanas para la Comunidad Cristiana, quien nos lleva a la Catedral de Palma de Mallorca para reflexionar sobre la relación entre la justicia, la igualdad, la espiritualidad y el medio ambiente, a partir de los paisajes artísticos que hiciera el artista Miquel Barceló como parte de la renovación de la Capilla del Santísimo Sacramento. 

"Tent of refuge" is a powerful biblical image of God Amma that indicates protection, welcome, shelter and training. Faced with our difficult reality, I propose to rediscover the tent of refuge called Christian community.

Let us provide the warmth that consecrated life invites and requires. It is the difference that Jesus indicates to us in Luke's Gospel, between Simon's fidelity to the law and the defiance of the woman's kisses.

It's been more than one year since 19 people — laywomen, former religious, religious women and a couple of men — began an adventure. Since then, the Community of Magdala has been growing in depth and in number.

Mindfulness and conscious living can help us find calm. If all hearts beat together, we could find peace everywhere.

Mary Magdalene offered us the gift of a community: a space of welcoming and support, of healing and inspiration, of rest and prayer, and a place to learn and experience discipleship, where women are the leaders.

We do not know how the Resurrection happened; the speculative questions do not fit. Their goal is not the news itself, but to inform and to feed the faith of the community.

How much we missed Mother Nature these past months, when most of us couldn't go out of our flats except for emergencies. Perhaps — now that we have missed her so much — we'll treat her in a loving and gentle way.

After having been touched by a new comprehension, my call to be prophetic takes a turn in the spiral of life, a turn from which there is no return. And that means a change of attitude about who I am and what I do.
