A Word of Encouragement

Oh God, please intervene at the very core of our being, and continually remind us that Holy Spirit and Christ Jesus-the Hope of Glory are always within us; to live in the synchronized (thank you Christine Potter) state of the well-being of your Grace within and without! Ron Ross

Christ comes to awaken us to our true nature. He is our epiphany. He comes to show us the face of God. He comes to show us also our face, the true face of the human soul.

This leads the Celtic tradition to celebrate the relationship between nature and grace.

Instead of grace being viewed as opposed to our essential nature or as somehow saving us from ourselves, nature and grace are viewed as flowing together from God. They are both sacred gifts.

The gift of nature...is the gift of "being"; the gift of grace on the other hand is the gift of "well being." Grace is given to reconnect us to our true nature.

At the heart of our being is the image of God, and thus the wisdom of God, the creativity of God, the passions of God, the longings of God.

Grace is not opposed to what is deepest in us but to what is false in us. It is given to restore us to the core of our being and to free us from the unnaturalness of what we are doing to one another and to the earth.
