Waymarks for the Celtic Pilgrim Journey - Craig Roberts A

We are partakers of God

through the Holy Spirit.

In God, we are made fully human,

the image of Christ-the glory of God.

As the ancient Celts knew, the most glorious journey is the one that brings us into the unexplored regions of our spiritual lives. The journey may lead through forests and along seacoasts, through pastureland and city streets; it is lit by the beaming sun, the silvery cycle of the moon's phases, and the spangle of starshine. The same journey also leads us deeper into our own hearts, into the hidden recesses of our consciousness-and the journey leads as well into encounters with other beings, where we are challenged to release our ego's demands even as we see Divinity looking back at us from another's eyes. For that is the goal of this journey-to deepen our awareness of the Divine Presence in Creation, within ourselves, in our relationships, and in our communities.
