The end is not nigh!
Although the Mayan calendar draws to a close in 2012, it may be, for you and for me, that 2012 can bring a refreshed and renewed approach to our spiritual formation – not the end of the world!
As people of faith, we believe in an apostolic Church: that is, a Church founded upon the notion that God, in Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, both calls us and send us out.
In our calling we a nudged by God to enter ever more deeply into relationship with God. Yet, at the same time, we are also called to share what we discover, for the sake of the world.
If you are struggling to find resources to help you in your journey of spiritual formation, I can wholeheartedly recommend the following website (simply click the image below to go to it):
Enjoy some great discoveries, particularly material and resources around Benedictine spirituality.
If you have some resources / links you wish to share, please do leave a comment. Thank you.
Come, Holy Spirit, and fill our hearts: kindle in us the fire of your love,
that we may live each day in love to you to one another.
Amen.
Thank you.
Even advertisers have jumped on the bandwagon here encouraging people to make purchases they otherwise wouldn’t…sort of a last chance. It’s a little tongue in cheek but I am concerned about those who may be worried.
I appreciate the nudge that God is close so it’s up to us to make the turn toward God who is already there.
Bless you and your ministry.
Hi Pat,
Is this the link that Jonathan sent that you are saying there are Advertisers? Not managed to go through whole site but I have not seen anything like this.
Fiona,
Sorry for the confusion. What I meant is advertisers here in US are using fear about the end of the world to encourage people to buy things they otherwise wouldn’t. I didn’t mean advertisers on website.
Pat
Wow! Jonathan Thank You so much for sharing this. I had felf that I was lacking in finding resources and this has so much. I have only skimmed the surface but the3 items on the Home Page – Prayer for Stillness, Discernment and New Year Resolutions alone have helped me. One of the questions is who are the people who help you find inner clarity and for me you are one of these people.
To echo Pat’ s sentiment – Bless you and your Ministry xx
A big ‘thank you’ from me, too!
