"there still persists...
the quaint superstition that only that which is visible is real"

Love in the Ruins

"sacraments are those rents in the opacity of history, where God's concrete engagement to change the world becomes visible...

we need a relational view of Place,
in which the relationships between God, place and humans provide the possibility for sacramental events..."

Pilgrims are not Tourists.

"turning away from dualism, to which evangelicalism is prone
towards the sacramental quality of God's whole created world...

We learn to discover the presence of God not only IN the world...but THROUGH the world."

[Donna Jennings @DonJen000]

"Let me keep my distance,
always from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!”
and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads."

"Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it."

St Conal's Well, Donegal

Prayer-draped deposits by pilgrims.
Human heart cries....seeking the sacred.
- the hopes and fears of all the years...
Evokes our own hopes, fears, pains, losses, hurt and healing.

[Donna Jennings @DonJen000]

We go to meet Jesus afresh,
to share his pain,
to pray and to work for the victory he won on the cross to be implemented – for his way to be
followed
– in the Holy Land
and in our own environment‟.

Dwelling in a pilgrim's posture this summer...with these excellent reads,👇

Seeking out the 'wide space' (Rehoboth) surrounding wells of living water (Gen 26).

[Donna Jennings @DonJen000]

Deprivation, not power.
Vulnerability, not rescue.
Obscurity, not honour.

"How often I find the restraint of God offensive."
