for the sake of the world
spiritual formation
is the process of being shaped in according to the image of Christ by the gracious working of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the world.
(definition developed for Companions in Christ, 2004)
every one of us – we are created with a Divine Image and as we consent to it – we can be transformed. we allow the transformation of own self, and the world is transformed.
prayer is relationship.
where it all begins. with words, without words. it all counts. God is present.
