Prayers for Holy Delighting: Falling in Love with God Anew by Bridget Mary Meehan
Celtic
spirituality provides ancient prayers and blessings for "holy delighting" in the
presence of God in everything. St. Patrick describes the cosmos as a radiant reflection
of God's glory. God is a God of the entire cosmos. According
to ancient sources, St. Bridget was ordained a bishop. St. Brigit reflects the
Celtic understanding that each person is Christ's beloved. Her vision of eternity
is a fun-filled festive party for the "family of heaven", where all are welcome
especially the most vulnerable and downtrodden. In
every moment, God is present, loving us, embracing us. Every encounter, every
event becomes an opportunity for holy delighting. The prayers in this workbook
are a sample of some traditional Celtic blessings that invite you to sing and
dance a reel or two with the angels and saints here and now in preparation for
the heavenly festivities. |
