Have you made
out your spiritual will? Most of us are smart enough to make out
our legal wills, disposing of our valuables. But what about passing
on our values to our loved ones?
Spiritual
or ethical wills harken back to an ancient Jewish tradition in
which people left to their loved ones their hopes and dreams,
their vision, their family stories, their gratitude and forgiveness.
It's a marvelous way to tell the important people in your life
that who you are and who they are is much more important than
the "things" we possess.
Hank Mattimore,
a former Catholic priest, is the author of "The Priest Who
Couldn't Cheat," Caritas Communications 2004. Marinites may
remember Hank as the first director of the Novato Human Needs
Center. He is currently chairman of the Sonoma County Juvenile
Justice Commission and writes a newspaper column for the Daily
Republic Newspaper in Fairfield.
Mattimore
is one of the Associates of the Legacy Center in Minneapolis/
St. Paul and has been writing about and conducting workshops on
Spiritual or Ethical Wills for the past three years. He is committed
to teaching people how to go about writing their own spiritual
wills, calling them "love letters" to those we leave
behind and "a marvelous antidote to the crass materialism
that pervades our culture."
