The Celtic Spirit - Be Thou My Vision / Slane

"If you quarrel with someone, make peace with him before sunset." Benedict

Serenity is sometimes hard to experience; it is elusive.  We look outside ourselves so often.  Behold the beauty of the world:  how do we recognize that we are part of a vastness that escapes words.  Listening prayer is an old Benedictine practice that invites us to see Christ in everyone and everything.  We are invited to welcome all as if we are welcoming Him.

"Make me an instrument of thy peace: where there is hatred let me sow love," is the beginning of an old prayer that invites us to respond in the opposite spirit of the world.
