In the final blog of the Reawakening our Origins series, Greg Valerio explores the relevance of St. Columba's rhythm of prayer, work and reading for the Christian life. Given the chaos and corruptions of the world, the journey towards our true home in Christ requires us to start all over again.
In the second of three blogs entitled Reawakening our Origins, Greg Valerio examines the characteristics of the British & Irish Monastic Church. Characteristics that focus on Discipleship, Imitation of Christ and geographical location of our spiritual practice.
In this post we reflect on The Rule of Columba and how a fresh look at this ancient text can inform our prayer and the focus of our life. Prayer creates a communion with God that re-orientates the priorities of our life.
