Listening for the Heartbeat of God
John Philip Newell has found the spiritual roots
of Celtic spirituality in the New Testament, specifically in the mysticism of St. John the Evangelist. At the Last Supper, John leaned against
Jesus’ chest and heard the heartbeat of God.
This event became a Celtic image for listening
to God in all of life. In this retreat we will reflect on a spirituality for today modeled on vital
characteristics of Celtic spiritualty through the
ages, especially emphasizing the essential goodness of Creation and of
humanity made in the
image of God.
