Celtic Christianity
CELTIC
PRAYER
Celtic prayer is at the heart of Celtic Spirituality. To pray these prayers
coming from the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales one is drawn into
the mystery of God’s presence in all things and the joy of expressing that
presence in a pattern of praise and blessing.
KEEPING COMPANY
WITH THE CELTIC SAINTS
The Celtic saints are
perceived
to be anamchairde or “soul friends.” In the Celtic tradition,
it is understood that a soul friend is a spiritual necessity.
CELEBRATING
CREATION: A CELTIC CHRISTMAS
As far as we can tell,
the
pre-Christian religious practices of the Celtic peoples were inclined to
celebrate the natural world as shot through with divine presence. For
them, a
faith tradition that celebrated the divine becoming human was
plausible, welcome
and true.
FINDING
NEW LIFE: A CELTIC EASTER
In a
singularly emphatic manner, the tradition of prayer
from the Celtic
tradition of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Cornwall and
the Isle
of Man rejoices in the resurrection.
