Incarnatio continua
The Incarnation continues in you, as you.
We wish you a blessed Christmas season living the Light into this world.
“God is manifesting in each moment as the human consciousness in each of us. As the Canadian Jesuit Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984) said, ‘We are the icons of God.’ God experiences Godself in us and awakens God’s dispositions in us, especially humility, forgiveness, and compassion. God receives God’s own love from us in the Spirit and delights in sharing with us the Trinitarian life of total self-giving.”

Q: I have ADHD and I love to use the ideas from the book Praying in Color. Am I praying contemplatively if I use paint or drawing to center myself so I can listen for God? No matter what group I have belonged to, the idea of contemplative prayer is to be still and let go of inner distraction through breathing or a mantra. I know inner distractions are part of being human but sitting still is not easy for me.
