“I used to stay out in the forests and on the mountain and I would wake up before daylight to pray in the snow, in icy coldness, in rain, and I used to feel neither ill nor any slothfulness, because, as I now see, the Spirit was burning in me at that time.”

St. Patrick’s spiritual awakening came not in a church but in the forests and hills of Ireland, where he was a slave tending sheep. Celtic spirituality is an invitation to listen for wisdom in many ways, by quieting our souls, in chanting and sacred text, and also in the very land we walk. Welcome the re-greening of the earth in this season by gathering to listen to what the land remembers. Led by Sue Mosher.
