Using a Lectio Divina style, we will focus each week on a single image of the Cosmic Christ with time for input, reading together, reflection, and sharing around a central theme. Themes include the Divine Milieu, The Cosmic Christ, Christ, the Fire of Love, Sophia: Catalyst of Creative Union, and the Christic. As we engage passages from Teilhard’s mystical writings, we will come to know the Cosmic Christ as the source of all Radiance drawing the human family toward the light and stirring up passionate desire to join in the work of creation.
