Mystical Journey

All humanity is hallowed...

We know the Divine through the body, and the earth, and all things.

In her book Celtic Ways to Pray: Finding God in the Natural Elements, Episcopal priest Ruth Lindberg Pattison writes:

The theology of the Incarnation suggests that we know God through the body. God taking the form of a human being hallows all humanity. Like Mary, all flesh holds the potential to bear God, every face reveals the face of Christ, and every baptism is a nativity: a bursting of holy water, and a birthing of the Divine. God in human form, and the physical world of matter, bears God; all flesh is holy.
