Living in Heaven Now…

Jesus spoke these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father . . . I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word; that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.”     ~  John 17:1, 20–23

Earth Day seems appropriate for this Living in Heaven Now post. In it Richard Rohr discusses connectedness, including this commentary:

To be a person of faith means we see things—people, animals, plants, the earth—as inherently connected to God, connected to ourselves, and therefore, absolutely worthy of love and dignity. That’s what Jesus is praying for: that we could see things in their unity, in their connectedness.

Connecting with earth can take many forms. EarthDay.org provides lots of ideas plus a way to recognize your efforts and find opportunities HERE.

Enjoy the day and our connectedness – with people, animals, plants and the earth!
