Transformation 1

 

 

 

"The dynamism of the Easter mystery is at the heart of Christian faith. True encounter with Christ liberates something in us,  a power that we did not know we had, a hope, a capacity for life, resilience, an ability to bounce back when we thought we were completely defeated,  a capacity to grow and change, a power of creative transformation… the dynamism of Love.

Love comes out of God and gathers us to God in order to pour itself back into God through all of us…   we all become doors and windows through which God shines…"            Thomas Merton

    Spectacular mandala Liz – thank you and powerful words from Thomas Merton. An inviting image to become doors and windows through which God shines. Encounters with Jesus Risen enables the light to penetrate ever more deeply.
    May Easter joy and peace surround you.

    Mandala lit up with Easter color, resonance and beauty! Merton practiced what he preached, which for me, is the only true way to be a Christian. Fail sometimes we will but still keep reaching for the stars! Happy Easter to all!

    “True encounter with Christ liberates something in us, a power that we did not know we had, …” And you symbolize this with the word blazing from the center of your gorgeous mandala, Liz. – Hope.
