Reflections
PRAYER with Sister Monica Sparks (SGS)
Reflection on Creation
As Pentecost Sunday and Earth Day are close together it seems appropriate to tap into "The Beginnings of God's wonderful Creation." As it is the International Year of Astronomy this is even more appropriate.
Pre-time,Pre -space , pre-energy, pre-matter
Prayer:" O God without beginning and without end, You invite us to contemplate Your extraordinary Self Bestowal of Love in creating primordial Energy and Matter.In the Beginning there is but utter Silence till Your great Love bursts forth,creating Light and Heat- Your first manifestation of sublime Self- outpouring.
Creator, in joy and awe we behold the extraordinary Mysteries of Space that we are unravelling in minute detail ..and yet we bow in humility as we realize how small our present knowledge is.We praise You for our own Universe with all its initial linkings,energies,becomings and declinings.We thrill to receive scientific communications of the "Heaven's" depths and evolutions.You speak Your Word and Creation comes into being,Your Wisdom is expressed and the Cosmic laws are set.
Your Word speaks to us now
Your Wisdom dances in delight.
We are caught up and enthralled
With celestial Birthings.
How right to give You praise.
How right to thank You that here is our matrixand we - made of star-dust-in Love Trace your Face".
Scripture on which to ponder:
John's Gospel 1 vs 1-3 , Proverbs 8 vs 29-31 Ps 19 v1-4
Echkart:" God is in everything and everything is in God"
Glory to God, the Source of all .Glory to the Eternal Word / Wisdom of God and Glory to the nurturing / sustaining Spirit of God. As it was in the very Beginning before Time, is now and always will be. Amen.
