Prayer has a deeper priority (than making yourself holy);
it is the sanctification of the world
of which you are a privileged inhabitant.
Listen to the voices
of longing in your soul,
your hungers. …
Make a prayer that is big enough for your wild soul,
Write a prayer that is worthy
of the destiny to which you have been called.
John O'Donohue (1956-2008)
Irish poet, author, priest, philosopher,
from Eternal Echoes
Wholeness
consists of coming back into relationship
with what is deepest in all things;
that is, the of-Godness
at the heart of the earth
and all life forms
and all people.
John Philip Newell
poet, peacemaker, minister and scholar of Celtic spirituality
