Celtic Lent Day 31 and 32

I knew all these nights shifts would catch up with me! Two days in one today:

Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home to itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves, utterly and completely, is our true beginning.
Thomas Kelly

If love could say God's name
We'd hear a trillion sounds
Choirs from the balconies
And grass grow through the ground
The sound would ring so true
As every fist uncurled
One human family

All across the world

The prayers of an atheist
Sent from the emptiness
Even they find the way back home

If love could say God's name
And we would just be still
Silence would start to sing
And nature reveal God's will

If love could say God's name
How could we not behold
One light, one peace, one grace
Shining in every soul
Beth Nielsen Chapman

Today marks the day when the readings move from the contemplation and awareness of the divine in all things, in every moment, to meditations reflecting Celtic thought and theology, which again is an affirmation of the presence of divinity in each and every thing in the created order.
An openness or receptiveness to the presence and availability of God opens us up to what is possible when we teach ourselves to find God in every moment- the light, peace and grace which surrounds us. This is what I hope for through the spiritual practices I engage with.

Scripture
One thing I asked of the Lord,
   that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
   all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
   and to inquire in his temple. 
Psalm 27.4

So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
1 John 4.16
