Sister Reflection
Our Sister Anne Marie shares this particular selection from a reading by Sr. Donna Geernaert, SC entitled “The New Cosmology and Christian Faith” (2013 by The Sisters of Charity-Halifax).
“Traditional Christian cosmology has its source in the first three chapters of Genesis. Genesis 1 unequivocally declares the whole of creation to be good. Humanity is created in the image and likeness of God and called to share God’s Sabbath rest. The Sabbath is ‘sign that none of us are ultimately slaves, neither of work nor of any human being, nor even of God.’ it is a sign of the dignity of every human being, called to share God’s life.” (reference made to Timothy Radcliffe, What is the Point of Being Christian? London: Burns & Oats, 2005 p. 201).
As we enter into the season of Lent, perhaps you will take up the invitation to reflect on the ways you enslave yourself, others, or creation by forgetting the dignity and beauty of all created things—made in the image of God who is Love. Such a reflection can only be done believing that we are unconditionally loved by God who desires our freedom and that of all people and creation.
