MOTHER EARTH

MOTHER EARTH       Planet Earth is our common home  where the sun shines on everyone and everything;  the rain and the sun make everything grow. Millions of species are born daily. Cosmic love is evident. Indeed, the Universe is a sacred place. As Teilhard calls it, it is a Divine Milieu. The Universe is our first expression of Love. That awareness will bring us many God moments and respect for our MOTHER EARTH.

By means of all created things,the divine assails us, penetrates us and molds us. God reveals himself everywhere, as a universal milieu....Teilhard de Chardin

God is all in all....Col 3:11

The natural world is a sacred community...
 Not to hear the natural world is not to hear the divine... Thomas Berry

The doctrine of Incarnation is itself an invitation to all believers to love earth, cherish it, find the divine in it.   Matthew Fox

Spirit is forever captured in matter, and matter is the place where Spirit shows itself. It is one sacred world.   Richard Rohr  p. 214 from his book EAGER TO LOVE, 2014

DEATH

DEATH         Most people are afraid of even the word.   Yet, death means new life, free life , free of pain, worries, anxieties... new birth. The Buddhists recommend visiting morgues so as to realize the brevity of life here on earth and the importance of living well.  Christians and, I think that all spiritual people, urge us to reflect on that same truth. EVEN DEATH IS NOT TO BE FEARED BY ONE WHO HAS LIVED WISELY.   Buddha DO NOT FEAR FOR I AM WITH YOU , DO NOT BE DISMAYED FOR I AM YOUR GOD.  I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU.    Is 41:10 WHETHER WE LIVE OR DIE, WE ARE THE LORD'S.     Rom 14:8 DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.    1 Cor 15:54 THE GRAVE IS ONLY A CURTAIN FOR THE PARADISE BEHIND.   Rumi LIFE AND DEATH ARE ONE, EVEN AS THE RIVER AND THE SEA ARE ONE.  K Gibran DEATH IS THE TRANSITION TO UNITY WITH ULTIMATE REALITY.  Thomas Keating THE OPPOSITE OF DEATH IS BIRTH....

JESUS, THE CHRIST TRINITY Why is Jesus called Jesus Christ? because Jesus is fully human and fully divine (paradox). How does Jesus fit into the triune God? Perhaps we can best see that in Jesus'prayer: THAT THEY MAY BE ONE AS YOU AND I FATHER ARE ONE... Granted we know that God is beyond gender but the term Abba/Father implies love, so Jesus becomes HIS unique beloved Son and the love we feel in our heart, is the Holy Spirit. Now we have Trinity called by Christians. Hinduism, the oldest religion calls it by different names: SAT, CHIT, ANANDA. TRINITY is one, universal, inclusive and a powerful reality. We are invited to dance with the joyful relationship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, BEING-KNOWLEDGE-HAPPINESS, FATHER-SON-SPIRIT, TRUTH IS ONE AND UNIVERSAL. Richard Rohr OFM from his book: DEVINE DANCE. FROM THE FIRST MOMENT OF THE BIG BANG, NATURE WAS REVEALING THE GLORY AND GOODNESS OF THE DEVINE PRESENCE...by Richard Rohr from his book UNIVERSAL CHRIST, ...
