Return to Your Spiritual Roots
The Christian faith blossoms from roots of Judaism. We can better understand and know Jesus in the context of his Hebrew identity. Jesus was called Rabbi.
Celtic Christian roots developed in present-day Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, with a focus on the goodness of God's creation and the presence of God in creation. The Celtic emphasizes man's natural connection with the divine: a message of love, compassion, and intimacy.
Mysticism in the Christian experience is rooted in the transcendent reality of God beyond rational thought, reaching back to the desert fathers and mothers, blossoming in St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, the Quakers, the contemplative practice, and centering prayer.
Take time to return to these roots and read again — or anew! — from one of these Christian traditions.
is a breath of fresh air for Christians and Jews who want to strengthen and deepen their own faith traditions.
