Christian Meditation – Environment and Spirituality – Section in Paul Harris Book by Fr Charles Brandt

Quotes:

“Where does contemplation lead one? Since it finds the Ground of Love in all reality, it leads to one’s sisters and brothers: it creates a social consciousness; it leads to a deeper unity and love with and for the earth.”

“If we can enter into this communion with all beings of the earth, both living and non-living, we will come to realize that we are part of the earth and the earth is part of us. This type of communion is not a rational discursive process, but is a way of love.”

“We come to experience the earth and the universe as our larger self. We come to care for it deeply, passionately.”

“…while we are distinct from the Ground of Love, we are not separate. Then we realize our unity and communion with every human being, with the earth and with the universe. Let us not undervalue our “great work”, the work of meditation.”
